Stobcross Crane / Finnieston Crane (Glasgow)

Known as the 'Finnieston Crane' but more properly should be the 'Stobcross Crane' (the Finnieston Crane was slightly further upriver - site now occupied by the City Inn).

The Stobcross Crane was built by the Clyde Navigation Trust in 1932 principally for the lifting of export steam locomotives from the vast works of the North British Locomotive Company. Glasgow's locomotive building works in Springburn and Queens Park produced over 30,000 locomotive for export worldwide. The Stobcross Crane was also used for fitting engines into new ships build on the Clyde - particularly from the large marine enginebuilding works in nearby Elliot and Hyde Park Streets and at Anderston Quay

The crane is no longer used for commercial lifts
