Old Port Glasgow by Joy Monteith provides a fascinating insight into the history and redevelopment of this former Scottish port. Established in the 1660s as a deep-water port, Port Glasgow played a significant role in Glasgow's growth, but its fortunes shifted with the city's expansion.

The book features a comprehensive collection of photographs showcasing key aspects of Port Glasgow's transformation from the late Victorian period up to 1970. By examining this period in detail, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the town's history and its people. Through its engaging narrative and extensive visual archive, Old Port Glasgow offers a unique perspective on Scotland's industrial heritage.
