Uncle born 1909 in Ladyburn Buildings, Off Port Glasgow Road, Greenock.
Does anyone know where this was? What kind of building it was - tenament/cottage/big house?
Any info would be most appreciated.

Hi Elaine,
A pic would be great.
You say your school gate was on the same street? If you can tell me which street that was, I can maybe look it up on an old map.
Thanks for your help,
Win

Hi Elaine,
Can only find Ladyburn Cottage on 1912 map (link below) between Pottery Street & Sinclair Street at the extreme east side of the map. Is this what I am looking for?

Hi win
if you pan right a little you will see the Tannery and a little further along
were it has school there are two L shapes blocks these were the two schools
Ladyburn school came under Pottery street
St Mungo's came under East Chalmers street
East Hamilton street was the main road running along the front
between the Laundry and the schools

Hi Elaine,
Have found all the points you mention except East Chalmers Street. Is it the one that runs alongside of the railway line? If so, the Ladyburn Buildings would be above the AI of Railway Line? Or is it near the Tramway Car Shed?
Sorry to seem dense: maps not really my thing...

Hi Win
there is an S shaped shaded area
lettering that say's Est Ch and School
the gate of our school would have just been to the left
of the S shape so that must have been the buildings
I am going that way this morning I will stop and see if
there is any other street names
did his family come from the area
maybe we could find them on one of the census's
to get an exact address
Elaine
ps I am no good with maps either

Hi Elaine,
No. Family not from this area, so that is why I am having trouble locating it! Other children plus extended family born and living in the Mount Pleasant/Lyle/Hope/Hay Street areas and which we all knew about, but really only noticed that one of the older children was born at Ladyburn Buildings when it was too late to ask my mum if she knew exactly where it was.
Just possible they were there in 1911 census - but will have to wait a while to find that out!

Hi Win
I remember the buildings still being there when I started school
I can't remember though if anyone lived in them at that time
the legend was it was haunted ( children school stories)
I think they were demolished in the mid sixties
I dont know if the Telegraph would have done a story on it
maybe maybe worth checking
I will keep looking for that picture I know I have seen it somewhere

Hello,
Came across your post about Ladyburn Buildings whilst looking for images of that area. Haven't found any yet but I can tell you exactly where they were.
If you go back to your map you will see the two L shaped buildings which were the two schools, to the right there is the shed. In front of that there are two long buildings between the shed and the railway line at the bottom of the map. The lower of the two buildings , in a crescent shape , was Ladyburn buildings. My friends gran lived there, her Grandad had an allotment right across the street which backed onto the railway line. They were still there in the mid 1960's as I attended Ladyburn School for 6 months in 1965 and remember them still being there. They were tenement buildings which had open landings at the back, folk often had washing out to dry on ropes strung accross the landings. There is a picture of similar type of buildings in Chalmers street, which was nearby, on GOOGLE. just type in Chalmers Street Greenock and there is a reference for a giclee print of Chalmers street. Hope this helps!

Hi Roxyrana,
Thanks for your information. I now know exactly where it was!
And although the picture is not of the building itself, it does give some idea of the area.
Thanks again for your help.
