Port Glasgow has been my home for a lot of years now and Greenock. But I’m a foreigner here, I’m an English man from Norwich but spent half my life up here. Funny how my Filipina fiancé living in Hong Kong led me to this video.
Good to see this film clip, my Father was born in Port Glasgow and i have trace my history back to 1890 to my Great great grandfather Thomas Rodgers...... THANKS
Great video. I forgot what great women did for greenock and the port. We started a three day week at Lees Jean's and went onto a sit in. My auntie was shop steward. Thanks for the memories.
my sweetheart danielle mitchell got a glimpse of her beloved late dad and would like to thank the uploader you made her day now she can see him again thanks
Excellent Video - i was born in Greenock in 1940 so remember many of these times and also my Mum & Dads as both were born in Greenock and Port Glasgow Things we took for granted then as didn't know any better Tough times but happy times When i went to India in 1995 to meet my daughter in law who lived in a poor area - my son said "you might get a culture shock Mum " I said "What i grew up in Greenock - i won't get no culture shock" and i didn't Same scenario People were poor but were happy and shared with one another . Now adays the youth have a lot more different and also tough times
very interesting. my mother came from the Port. i was brought up in greenock. nice to see a respectful, serious film about the reality of life in those hard times

riverclyde slums are the worse housing in scotland .they destoyed easterhouse in glasgow now they are not repairing what privite landlords would be jailed .so if you dont want to get nothing fixed dont rport it as you will get put on their bad tennent list just for complaining .and even thou as all know you make a complaint they take name phone. were you live and whats the problems are tell you to go home and when repairman is ready for your house they call to make sure you are in to stop wastin
wasting a traidsmans time and thats rite thats why they do this .if you are not home when they said they would have someone to see what needs done .its a great way to stop timewasters and no answer at the property .but not this housing gang they say in letters to house of lords letters That they do come to your house without notice and dont get a person in .so what is it your employers dont fallow your orders and take it apon themselfs to breakthe rules we all have to abide by or are i peter
