  • I was born at 19 Lettoch St Govan

    (the Wine Alley) My name is Alex Lennox, mothers name Nellie, I had an uncle Wullie Lennox from Kella St he was a ragand bone man, among other things.

    I worked as a docker from 1960 to 1984 when I retired through ill heath. I now live in Lochwinnoch.

    Old Govan is no more, and I am not just talking about the buildings, Govan was the People,

  • togglesblock I was brought up across the road from the wine ally in the high flats we weren't aloud across unless we were going to my aunti lizzies house, but I used to skip across to play in the midges there was always some one setting fire to the midges and a was a bit of a fire bug when a wiz a waen many a sore bum a got for coming hame smelling a smoke. My brother once gave the rag and bone man ma das good sheepskin jacket for a balloon aye and he got sore backside for that as well lol lol.
