Hi
Oh my goodness when I saw this sie mntioned, I just HAD to have a look,
I was born at Pattion Street, in Dlmuir West, and was amazed to see all the changed have taken place sinci I last saw Clydebank & Dalm,uir, I don`t think I would recognise anything now if I returned there!!
I last saw Clydebank in the early 1960`s, so as you can imagine there is very little of the original part left now, I would love to see it all again if possible, but don`t think that will ever happen now.
I live in Essex England now. have done for many years, my late husband was an Essex man, we returned for a brief time to Sc otland, when my son was born
in Scotland in 1957 and it was changing even then.
I have no family left there now, except for descenants on my father`s side, but I never knew them, he died in 1941 and I did not see any of his relations after then, I never knew much about the family either, not until I started doing family research, then I was in for some surprises!!

Ah, my home town too!
My family still live in the local area so i am there quite often visiting.
I think it is a shame they pulled John Browns down! It has left a huge void in the area until the flats are finished of course.
The town hall is exactly the same as every as is the library.
The shopping centre is unrecognisable now! It has a roof on!!
They have also altered the canal again so it allows boats to go up and down it again!
I don't mind taking pictures of anything someone really wants to see. Although i do warn i am not the best photographer in the world!

Great site for those with links to this area. History and photos from the the area's past. Very much worth a visit even if it is just to see how a well laid website looks! I have no vested interest  I just found it by accident.
Best of luck,
Pam

Hi Pam,
On behalf of everyone I must thank you for discovering that website. It's of interest to me because my father worked on the building of the "Lusitania".
Willy Linton, the son of Hercules Linton who designed the famous clipper ship "Cutty Sark, also worked on her as a cabinet-maker.
Hercules was born and died here in Inverbervie.
Bervonian.

Thanks bervonian
It's such a shame this site has lost it's owner but thankfully they have left the conent online.
So interesting. The aerial photo from Germany post the blitz is fascinating.
I wish I had family connections to the area!
Pam

Thanks Pam for this link. My grandfather Robert Whyte was an architect for John Brown shipbuilders, and my great grandfather Henry Smith, came over from America with Singer sewing machines. One of his daughters, Florence, married Robert Whyte.
I am now in London, but love historical and genealogical links to Scotland.
