Extensive redevelopment in the 1970s cut a swathe through the part of Dumbarton that had been called the Artisan (see Image). In the middle of the nineteenth century, there was a building called Artisan House (at Image) set just behind a row of houses called Artisan Place. [Artisan House and Artisan Place (the row of buildings, which included a brass foundry) were both the property of Alexander Denny, who was also the proprietor of the brass foundry.] Glasgow Road also cuts through the southern end of what was (during the First World War) the location of a cattle market, at Image: see Image, taken from further ahead. Some of the Risk Street flats are visible on the other side of the road: Image / Image / Image
