Some images of the Cheapside Flour or Grain Mills can be seen at the Website for The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland, along with the following information, "Cheapside Flour Mills, 79-81 Cheapside Street, Glasgow (Glasgow City council area) This pair of mills was founded in 1860 by A and W Glen, millers, Haughhead, Paisley. The five-storey rubble building on Cheapside Street was built then, and a red brick block in Piccadilly Street added later. This view shows the Cheapside Street block from the north west. The little building on the end was probably a stable. The gable of the Piccadilly Street building can be seen to the left. Note the bulge in the wall of the older block. These mills appear to have been constructed to mill flour with grindstones. This technique was superseded by roller milling in the 1880s, and these mills were not adapted, becoming instead warehouses in about 1895. They were demolished in the late 1960s Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN."
