Description
Old Clydebank by Sheila Struthers A history of the town of Clydebank, formed in the late 19th century when J. & G. Thomson's shipyard relocated from Govan due to a new dock being built on its site. The arrival of the Singer sewing machine factory brought more workers to the area, and this book includes views of shipbuilding on the Clyde, the construction of the Queen Mary, local football teams, and images of Dalmuir. The town's development is also documented in detail, with pictures of important streets and sights in Clydebank itself. This collection of photographs and information provides a unique insight into life in Clydebank during its formative years. With 56 pages of photographs and text, Old Clydebank offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of this West Scottish town.
