An interpretative notice nearby tells passers-by that the Glasgow Rubber Works stood on the far side of the canal here. The late 19th century six-inch map, however, reveals that in addition to the rubber works there were the Caledonia Foundry, a chemical works (on the site of the red brick building), saw mills and a lead and colour works, presumably where paint was manufactured.
