Plan of Clydebank (before 13-14 March 1941)

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).

The areas seen on this plan (map) from pre-Blitz Clydebank are Mountblow, Dalmuir, Parkhall, Duntocher, Hardgate, Kilbowie, Drumry, Linnvale, Whitecrook and Yoker. Like other schemes, Faifley did not yet exist.

Hi

This plan is post war, it shows Boquhanran housing scheme which wasn't built at the time of the Blitz

@flyingchilders Thanks! It was before my time, anyway! I'm going to try to get it dated.

before my time too :-) but I saw a photo taken from Radnor Park just after the blitz and the Barrie Quad , Dickens Ave area is just fields. Would love to see a map of Clydebank from the late 30's so keep hunting!
