Ladyburn Buildings, Greenock

[grianaig1]

Inchgreen Street ran from Port Glasgow Road north to the river and ended at the gas works. In the aerial view shown it is just out of picture. The buildings in the photo are as follows from left to right...Ladyburn Church, Ladyburn buildings, Saint Mungos RC church, the large tenement building next to the church was known as Paddys castle. Moving right we have Helen Street and Chalmers Street tenements and then the newer tenements of Fullerton Street which was situated just in front of Bogston rail station. Between Paddys castle and Helen Street there was a bridge which carried a railway line from the main Gourock to Glasgow line across Port Glasgow Road down to the gas works.

Ladyburn School was not demolished. It is now a businessand artists centre. Saint Mungos which was situated close by was demolished in the early seventies.

I have this photo from my collection showing Inchgreen Street, the street running between the yard and the gasworks. To the right of Inchgreen Street is Boundry Street with The Lithgow Club building clearly visible. To the right of that again is Argyle Street. In the foreground of the photo directlly above Inchgreen Street is the top of Shankland Avenue. If you take a look at Google Maps, Inchgreen Street is still shown on the map and it is the entrance to BPI Industries, the pavement contours are probably still there from the 60s.

Hi Albalad,

Thanks for that great photo of Inchgreen Street - the best I've seen yet to show clearly where it was. I finally feel satisfied now! Brilliant.
