Author : John R. Hume ISBN : 9781807010171 Cover : paperback Price : £11.95
This is a collection of 1960s, 70s and 80s photographs taken by the author of these West Renfrewshire towns on the Clyde. They mainly show the Inverclyde area but also include Wemyss Bay, with its pier and magnificent station. Anyone who knows Greenock and Port Glasgow will be aware of the substantial change these places underwent as they de-industrialised dramatically during and since the period featured.
Scenes include Fort Matilda, the Albert Dock, the Container Terminal, the Glebe Sugar Refinery, Caird’s Shipbuilding Yard, the Boom Defence Depot, East India Harbour – and more in Greenock, plus, in Port Glasgow, the Gourock Rope Works and Ferguson’s Shipyard.
