Clyde-built: a walking tour of Clydebank (photos)
Clydebank is the home of some of the world's finest-built ocean liners, and tens of millions of Singer sewing machines. However, during World War II, it tragically became the worst-blitzed town in all of Scotland. It has also borne actors (for example, James Cosmo), artists, athletes, entrepreneurs (Duncan Bannatyne OBE), film-makers, and musicians (Wet Wet Wet).
Launching at 11:00 on Saturday, 01 May 2010, is 'Clyde-built: a walking tour of Clydebank,' a 90-minute audio-visual walking tour led by a friendly tour guide. It is the creation of award-winning film-maker, Iain McGuinness, director of Post-Blitz Clydebank and Clydebank Through A Lens.
In May, June, September and October, the walking tours will take place twice per day; on every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, from 11:00 to 12:30, and from 15:00 to 16:30.
In July and August (peak season), the walking tours will take place up to three times per day; on every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, from 11:00 to 12:30, and from 15:00 to 16:30, and then from 17:00 to 18:30.
Beginning at Queens' Quay (site of the former John Brown & Co. shipyard), each walking tour lasts approximately 90 minutes, and costs only £6 per adult walker (16 or over; £3 concession; i.e., 10- to 15-year-olds, and 60 or over). Included in the price, are mid-journey light refreshments of orange juice, tea / coffee, and shortbread.
The locations visited include: Atlas Street and Cunard Street (former Clydebank Riverside train station); Glasgow Road and Argyll Road (Kizil Mansions); Glasgow Road and Argyll Road (Sue Jane Taylor's sculpture, Kromer Hat); Hume Street (former Clydebank Co-op offices and hall); Chalmers Street and Sylvania Way South (Clydebank Co-op department store); Sylvania Way South (Salvation Army Citadel); Alexander Street (Baptist Church); Bruce Street (former swimming baths); Dumbarton Road and Hall Street (Clydebank Town Hall (and Clydebank Museum)); Hall Street (former fire station); Hall Street and Dumbarton Road (Morrison Memorial Church); Dumbarton Road (Clydebank Library); Miller Street and Dumbarton Road (Solidarity Plaza); Kilbowie Road (site of the former Clydebank School); The canal and Business Park (site of the former Singer's factory); Clyde Shopping Centre; McMonagles Fish Restaurant (the world's first sail-through fish-and-chip shop); John Crosby's sculpture, Bankies' Bike; and Stanford Street (site of the former Stanford Chemical Works).

John Brown's Shipyard, Clydebank, Scotland ( see other River Clyde videos)
Charlie visits the site of John Brown's Shipyard in Clydebank, Scotland where he spent six years training.
Some other famous people who worked here were Billy Connolly, the artist Tom McKendrick and of course the late great Jimmy Reid
Ewan McGregor was in Clydebank recently filming Trainspotting 2.
My wife works with 3M and the jacket I am wearing was a gift.
I am sorry to say that I made a mistake in saying the QE2 and all the large ships were built on the West side of the yard. In fact they were built where I was standing which is the East yard.
