Garshake Water Works: Pressure Filter Station
The tallest structure at the right, and the parts between there and the right-hand edge of the picture, belong to a separate building (NS4176 : Garshake Water Works: eastern building), but the main subject of the photograph is a panoramic view of what is left of the pressure filter station, which is described in detail, and shown from another angle, at NS4176 : Garshake Water Works: Pressure Filter Station.
The now-demolished filter room stood on the base that is clearly visible in the present photograph.
The building is surrounded by an enclosure. The photograph was taken from outside the enclosure, looking through the fence.

Garshake Water Works
An Act of 1857 empowered Dumbarton Town Council to abstract water from the Overtoun Burn and to construct reservoirs at Garshake and the Black Linn. Further works, associated with the abstraction of water from Loch Lomond, were completed in 1960. A filter station, built on the Garshake site, was inaugurated in 1964.
