Argyll Factory Clock, Alexandria

Argyll Factory Clock, Alexandria
The Argyll Motor Works, currently known as Lomond Galleries, is a former car factory in Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. It was opened in 1906 by Argyll Motors Ltd, at the time the largest producer of cars in Scotland. After the Argyll company folded it was used as a torpedo factory, subsequently lying empty for many years, and is now a shopping centre. The elaborate structure is protected as a category A listed building. Quoted from Wikipedia.

An interesting link Joe and a very interesting history this building has. They turned out more cars than any other factory in Europe. How times have changed! The building looks big and proud...I hope the clock was correct! Cheers, Rosa.

I think the clock was at the right time, Rosa. I don't remember cars being made here, but I do remember when they made torpedoes. Thanks for your very kind comment. Cheers, Joe
