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.

History
The Museum of Transport was first established in 1964. Created in the wake of the closure of Glasgow's tramway system in 1962, it was initially located at the former Coplawhill tram depot on Albert Drive in Pollokshields, before moving to the Kelvin Hall. The old building was subsequently converted into the Tramway arts centre.
The museum was then situated inside the Kelvin Hall opposite the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the West End of Glasgow. The Kelvin Hall was built in 1927, originally as an exhibition centre, but was converted in 1987 to house the Museum of Transport and the Kelvin Hall International Sports Arena.
The Kelvin Hall site itself closed in April 2010, with the Museum moving to its third home at the new Riverside Museum in 2011.

The Museum of Transport in the Kelvin Hall was one of the most popular museums of transport in the United Kingdom, attracting half a million visitors a year, and housed many exhibits of national and international importance.
Road vehicles
The museum housed the oldest surviving pedal cycle and the world's leading collection of Scottish-built cars and trucks, including pioneering examples from Scottish manufacturers Argyll, Arrol-Johnston and Albion. More modern Scottish-built cars, namely the Rootes Group's Hillman Imp, Chrysler Avenger and Chrysler Sunbeam were represented too along with many other motorcars in a large showroom-type display sponsored by Arnold Clark.
All forms of transport were featured, from horse-drawn vehicles to fire engines, from motorcycles to caravans, even toy cars and prams.
Ship models
In the Clyde Room was a display of some 250 ship models, representing the contribution of the River Clyde and its shipbuilders and engineers to maritime trade and the Royal Navy, including the Comet of 1812, the Hood, the Howe, the Queen Mary, and the Queen Elizabeth and the QE2.
Railway and municipal transport exhibits
Locomotive manufacture was also an important Glasgow industry and the museum celebrated the city's railway heritage, including locomotives such as:
The Caledonian Railway - Caley No. 123 single driver
Highland Railway - No. 103, the Jones Goods
Great North of Scotland Railway - Gordon Highlander No. 49
Glasgow and South Western Railway - 5 Class 0-6-0T no. 9
Andrew Barclay 0-6-0 Fireless locomotive, South of Scotland Electricity Board, No. 1
First ScotRail - Class 380 EMU (full-scale model)

Other main exhibits displayed the evolution of Glasgow's public transport system and included seven Glasgow Corporation Tramways tramcars from different eras, Glasgow Corporation Trolleybuses, and the reconstruction of Kelvin Street, which aimed to recapture the atmosphere of 1930s Glasgow, including full-scale replicas of a pre-1977 Glasgow Subway station and the Regal Cinema, which played Scottish transport documentaries such as Seawards the Great Ships.
