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

Docks developed in stages during late 19th Century by the Clyde Navigation Trust to enable ships visiting the rapidly expanding port of Glasgow to be repaired and refitted. In use intil 1980s. Grade A listed site but neglected and highly vandalised. Docks have significant maritime relevance occupying part of the site of the former shipyard of world renowned engineer Robert Napier, Father of the Clyde's vast 19th and 20th Century shipbuilding industry and designer of the first transatlantic ships of the Cunard Line
