Before My Time

A Memory of Greenock.

The road you see, scarring the middle left of the picture, is known as Bow Road. Apparently there was a farm at the top of this road known as Bow Farm. The housing estate that was subsequently built in the post war years after 1945, was and still is known as Bow Farm. I was born in this area in 1949 and, as things often go full circle, I have ended up back in this area sometime around 1998. Actually live on Bow Road as mentioned earlier although a quarter of a mile further up than the photo indicates. The water is the Murdieston Dam where I used to sail a yacht with my dad, around 1953. Happy memories.
