Biscuit Factory, Stoddart Street

This former biscuit factory in Shieldfield recently underwent a sensitive restoration and conversion into a popular art gallery and restaurant. This new status has brought attention to the industrial past of the Shieldfield area, which had many factories in the nineteenth century. The three storey building is stone and brick. The heavily rusticated ground floor has six arched windows in sandstone surrounds, the windows of the upper floors are separated by brick pilasters. On the Stoddart Street frontage the central pilasters rise to support a pediment above a large single plate window. LOCAL LIST
