Belview
A distillery briefly active in the ‘Glasgow collection area’ in the 1820s.
Bridgeton distillery
Lowland single malt Scotch whisky
One of the many lost distilleries to grace Glasgow’s streets, Bridgeton (also called Brigton and Hopewell), distillery stood on a spot that is today between Main Street and Savoy Street, halfway from Bridgeton station to the Clyde.
Although current maps show no stream nearby, a watercourse may well have flowed there in the early 1800s.
Bridgeton History
Bridgeton distillery was licensed to James Walker in 1816 but it closed the following year. It was re-opened by A M Forman in 1825 but closed once again in 1826.
