Title: Whitehall Veneer Saw Mill, Glasgow
Post by: nessie12 on Sunday 26 May 13 13:09 BST (UK)

Trying to found any photos/records on Whitehall Veneer Saw Mill, 36 Whitehall Street, Glasgow. It was owned by my great great great Grandfather Thomas Owen in 1860's

Nessie,  the place for old pic's is the Mitchell Library's website. Whitehall Street was in Anderston, between Stobcross Street & the Broomielaw, a wee street, probably long gone.

Skoosh.

or if you use facebook there is a page/group "Old Anderston" where they display several old photographs of the area.
