Year: 1979
Larkfield
I lived on Auchmead Rd from 1957-79 and now I live in the States. Life has not been bad, but there's never a day goes by, that I do not think of home. When we were weans, we used to have concerts in the backyard, singing, dancing anything to feel like a star. It's a shame children nowadays don't have that attitude. Summer nights we got to stay out till midnight, boy we thought we were something. We would walk to Inverkip just to go to the beach, a sandwich in hand, and we were gone all day, didn't need babysitters back then. I have been back home one time since I left, I was truly shocked at the difference, but still pleased at the places that had not changed that much, there definitely is no place like home. This year my son got me the Scottish Flag for Xmas. I never knew I had that many tears in my body, proud to be Scottish says it all. It has been wonderful just sitting here reminiscing and I thank you and your site for allowing me to do so. Good-night & God Bless. Last edited: 27/05/2008 09:50 by Isobel Malone |

I was born and brought up in Greenock in 1954 and its the only place I have ever felt happy, nothing can compare to the feeling of security and belonging I felt in my heart. God bless you Greenock, there is knowhere like you in the world. Posted: 01/02/2008 04:12 by First Name Last Name |

Cloch lighthouse A memory of Gourock, Renfrewshire My father Peter Gordon, was born in the Cloch lighthouse as his father was principle lighthouse keeper at the time. He used to tell me he jumped out of his bedroom window and go for swim. I was born in London and only once managed to get up to Scotland to see the lighthouse. Unfortunately my father died in 1969 when I was still young so did not get much detailed information about his early life. Wish I had known more. I believe the lighthouse is privately owned now. How I wish I could see inside it. Last edited: 22/09/2008 09:00 by Helena Pigott |

 Gourock, Kempock Street 1900 (ref: 45978) |
Year: 1964
Granny Kempocks Stone A memory of Gourock, Renfrewshire I moved from Port Glasgow when I was 5 to live with my gran. She had a small two room flat on Kempock Street just below Granny Kempock's Stone. I seem to recall that you went through an opening/archway which took you through into a large open space which I think used to be old stables and it was from here there were stairs that took you up to the flat. I also remember the Continental Cafe was just across the road from the flat. There was a small alleyway that took you up the step hill to Granny Kempock's, and we used to go this way when we were going to school. I lived here for a year or so before moving to the new flats (1966 or 67) in Larkfield Road, no 67 I seem to recall was where we moved to. I remember the summers queuing up to get into the swimming baths when I was a bit older. I left Gourock to live in Port Glasgow in the early 1970s but still came to school in Gourock until I left in 1975 after which I moved to England and I am still living here now. I have very fond memories of growing up in Gourock. Last edited: 05/05/2008 16:36 by Carol Cassin(mcmanus) |
