Statement of Interest

owned by J Neish, a pioneer in the introduction of jute,

and later by his manager J Paterson. The site, distant

from other early mills, was chosen to allow dyeing (carried

out across the road, now a builders yard) of yarn for jute

carpets, first woven at Heathfield Works. The small

Italianate tower was built for the mechanics' shop in 1871.

Factory, built 1887, to E, between Paterson St and

Strathmore Avenue, is excluded from list.
