Wonderful pictures especially Singers Clock- it was a handy reference to how late you were for school.I seemed to spend many times running through Dalmuir Park looking at the clock & thinking "It's detention for me today".
Thanks for those folks

This is all fascinating. My great grandfather Lewis Henry Smith came over from Detroit, USA, WITH Singer Sewing machines, when the factory was opened. He and his wife and five daughters lived in Helensburgh.

I was born in Helensburgh in 1934 - I can remember air raids, although H'burgh was not greatly affected by dropped bombs - only one fell off the pier - but the noise was horrendous, all the time, and we could see Clydebank, Greenock, all the shipyards, burning.
