The Thornliebank Dye Print and Bleachworks with its little branch line from the railway dominated the whole area, as the contemporary 1850’s map shows.
The workers rows would have been integral with the works but unfortunately none of them are named in the map.
I had a look at the maps for the areas surrounding Thornliebank and discovered it to be mostly rural with isolated houses with familiar names such as “Carnwadrick” and “Robslee”.
The heritage web site discovered by neilmac has a couple of interesting pictures of the plant and railway in its heyday and the ruins after it was flattened.
I liked this old picture of the workforce looking suitably glum for the camera.
