Greenock's East End in the 60s
A look back at Greenock's East End before all the changes in the 60s and 70s. Ingliston Street, Belville Street, St Lawrence Street as they were before "modernisation".

Wow. We had lots of relatives in Greenock and The Port.. 60s and 70s were lots of family visits. People obviously moved from the old tenements into the new houses. It all became unrecognisable with tenements being demolished and shipyards, docks and factories closing. It was as if someone just bulldozed character out of the area. Thank you for the wee walk down memory lane.
Excellent photos. Thanks.
Thanks for compiling this. So many memories of those times, I was born in Chalmers Street, grew up in Castle Road, went to Hillend Primary School and then Greenock High.
Great video!. Loved it!. Just look at all the wonderful progress they’ve made in the last 60 years!.
What great pictures. I lived in Greenock for several years but was originally from Paisley. I now live in Ireland but consider Greenock home.
Really enjoyed that look round part of the East end, got lost with a couple of the places but I’m going to check old maps and orientate myself 👍
nice vid, surprised no QB or Gibby, be nice to see that.
No Gibbshill shots? Great video.
