Late 1800s hand-pressed firebrick. Produced by James McNaughton, Son & Co., Heatheryknowe, Glasgow. Found sitting on a pile of rubble in the Govan Graving Docks.

Upper scuttle value cover in the gate of the number two Govan Graving Dock, Glasgow.

You can tell that this houses the upper scuttle valve because it says so right on the cover. It also tells you what the open and closed positions for the valve are.

Knowing what an upper scuttle valve does, and when you should be opening or closing it, is quite a different matter!

Glasgow Old and New: The Glasgow Tower (built in 2001) reflected in the one of the Govan Graving Docks (built in the late 1800s and closed in 1988).
