Greenhouse
A Memory of Greenock.
Our family story is that my great grandparents, James & Margaret Risk owned and operated a greenhouse in the Greenock, Campsie, or Kirkentolloch area (it may have been in the Baird name) in the 1890's & 1900's. My mother, May Violet Risk, lived there with her parents James Baird Risk & May Violet Russell Risk in 1911 according to a 1911 census. They came to Canada in 1913. My mom told me stories of living there and that there was water in a viaduct from the hills to provide water to the greenhouse and their home. They even had flush toilets. Does anyone have any information regarding this greenhouse business? I understand there still is a greenhouse in Kirkentolloch but have been unable to find any information about this.
