Hello again,
I was browsing through flickr for photos of Greenock and came across an old photograph which shows the elusive Ladyburn Buildings!
If you google 'Tony from greenocks' photostream ' up comes his collection of pics. On the second page about half way down there is an old b&w photo titled 'The Gibby 1965'
The Ladyburn buildings are in the top L of the picture, a distinctive crescent shaped building, pale grey in colour. The Ladyburn School is to the L of the buildings.
Chalmers street is the long curved buildings to the R side. It looks like blocks of flats in a darkish grey.
Hope this satisfies your curiosity !
Regards,
Roxyrana

Hello, I lived at Ladyburn buldings between 1960 and 1966 where I went to Ladyburn primary school which is just around the corner. The discription in the last post is stop on, the building is the L shaped at the top LHS of the picture. The building were also called McLeans building and McLeans Land for some reason. I have some old family colour Cine movies of the building and street. If anyone has other picture of this building to share I would love to see them. Regards Jim

My aunt Mary lived in Ladyburn Buildings and I lived across the street at 7 Port Glasgow Rd in the late 50's early 60's. Only attended Ladyburn school for a year before the family moved to Gourock. The buildings seemed giant when I was wee and full of life - sadly the area is pretty lifeless these days and waiting to be redeveloped.

I have put a red arrow were the railway line ran through
but just out of the picture there would Bogston station
when you went down through the tunnell it took you down on to
the main road which is were the Inchgreen dockyard is
in the picture there are a few tenements I have put a red dot
this was possibly the tenements your family lived in
