Taken in October 2014, the former pub still bears the name Waverley but is now business premises and is one of the only original buildings left in Mainsforth Terrace. Opened in 1865, it had been known as the Glasgow Cheap Dining Rooms. It was very close to the steel works gate and often men had to be sent for if they had not arrived for their shift!
The building appears to have been demolished early 2015.

Location
Former public house at south end of Mainsforth Terrace which opened in 1865 as the Glasgow Cheap Dining Room, was largely rebuilt in 1871by Camerons and closed in 1971. It was the pub where Strongarm beer was launched in 1955 probably because of the proximity to the steelworks as the Strongarm logo is of a steel worker. It was the first port of call for many steelworkers after work.
