For the benefit of anyone else searching, I sent and e-mail to the National Library of Scotland (their e-mail is maps@nls.uk) and had the following response, which they have confirmed they are happy for me to post here:

I regret that I have failed to find Blythswood View. There is no mention of it on either the Ordnance Survey (O.S) 25” to a mile scale map of 1896 ( Dunbartonshire sheet XXV.2) or on 1914 (Dunbartonshire XXIII.10; XXIII;14; XXIII.11 and XXII.15), which  is the biggest scale of  Clydebank map we have for this period.  I looked at 49 maps of both Clydebank and Glasgow from around 1900 to 1962, including the 1958 and 1962 Clydebank town plans with a street index. The O.S. 50” (1:1250) to a mile scale sheets for 1948 also proved fruitless.

 You may have already tried both the Mitchell Library in Glasgow    http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/en/Residents/Libraries/Collections/ArchivesandSpecialCollections/

and the  Clydebank Story site  http://www.theclydebankstory.com/contact.php

Thanks to searching for your enquiry ,I  now know that Clydebank is not part of Glasgow, but is in West Dunbartonshire. Local history enquiries can be sent to
Clydebank.local.history@west-dunbarton.gov.uk

So you can see they kindly did a lot more than I expected and really tried to find it for me but to no avail as yet. I have sent an e-mail to the address suggested so I'll wait to see if they can help.

Many thanks then to the National Library of Scotland, where at their web site http://www.nls.uk/maps, they do have maps from all over the world!

I've now had some help from Clydebank Local History library, and they have compared some maps they have and confirmed that it was on what is now called Clyde Street between South Bank Street and South Elgin Street.
