These were jute spinning and carpet mills owned by G R & A Gilroy and built from 1851-1865. The tall pediment used to carry a statue of Minerva. The mills are now student accommodation. In the distance is the square brick chimney of Dudhope Works. This dates from 1837 and is the oldest free standing chimney in the City.
