Fantastic film. my family came from Jura to Greenock in the 1800s. worked hard and overcame the hurdles.

Town is a shambles now!😢

Lived in Devol, but now in Bulgaria. A weeks money does you a month here.

The comet festival was a big deal for many years the weans loved it so did the port

Very interesting to hear about Morton F.C.

Used to like the Broons or Oor Wullie topless double decker buses they brought to the festival every year and watching the boat race to the lighthouse and back!

Fantastic information you have on your family. I was born a McIntyre, my father was born in Mayo, Ireland but his father was born in Lancashire to an Irish mother, we have zero information on my father’s father unfortunately.

Come on the ton ❤️

Great. It was with a lump in my throat when I saw my Grandpa and Gran , Richard and Marion Clifford, in this film. Marion was a native Gaelic speaker from a croft at the village of Edenbain in Skye and Richard was originally from Gravesend in Kent. They lived in Shore St and then in Collingwood Terrace at Nelson Rd path. They had children Richard, Marion, Mary, Doris, Edward, Ferguson, and also Annie who died as an infant. They attended Gourock High School and also St Bartholomews Church in Barrhill Road. Son Richard was a Captain in the Scientific Core based in Wiltshire and my Dad, Edward joined it also at the start of WWII. It was Britains answer to Chemical Warefare. Many cousins now live in Inverclyde and surrounding districts. Thanks for the memory, Best Regards // Eric Clifford

Brilliant my friend from a GRK boy....does anyone remember the name of a documentary they made about the Greenock blitz?I thought it was called"the tale of the bank",but I cant seem to find...cheers..great vid as well.

Haha. Really wasn't expecting to see my cousin's wee boy there. Magic. G'on Liam.

i was 22 then and its completely different living in this area now to what it was all these years ago.

pure brammer man

The good old days. Brings a tear to a glass eye...that and the rain.

really enjoyed most of the clip but there was no mention of one of the best eras for Morton when they won the Scottish first division on two occassions and were top of the premier scottish league in 1979 and reached several semi finals, only a small mention of big Andy.

Made me smile :-)

History alive! Really great seeing something historic brought to life. Thank you for the entertaining way it is accomplished. Very interesting.
