Title
Sandilands: aerial view
Description
An aerial view, looking south east, of Sandilands Chemical Works from around the 1920s that featured on a postcard. Surrounding houses on Baltic Street, Garvock Wynd and Garvock Square can also be seen. These houses were primarily used for chemical workers. The property was owned by the Miller family and they were no doubt the origin of the name of the street running along the west side of the works (on the right in this image), Miller Street. The main gate for the works was on the road that leaves Miller Street at the lodge house, shown in the bottom left of the highlighted area here. The large property south along Miller Street, on the corner of Baltic Street, was called the "Big Hoose". Attached to this house was the factor's house and a public W.C. The factor collected rents from all the houses on the Miller property. Sandilands Chemical Works produced cod liver oil, other oils, pitch, disinfectants, candles, fertilisers and serums. In this image, a mixture of newer granite buildings and those from earlier in the 19th century can be seen.
