My mum was born in Manse Lane, Greenock. She used to tell me lots of stories about Greenock. She was a young girl in the Greenock blitz and had some vivid memories of it. A river of burning whisky flowing down Ingleston Street was one. Another was watching a ship sink from her school window - St Columbas in Peat Road. Some of the stories were clearly things she had been told (Ingleston st.) rather than actually seen. Great video, mum would have loved this. She died last year and I wish I'd written down all her stories. xx

What a moving tribute. You obviously loved her very much. I'm sorry you lost her so suddenly 💔💐😢 You don't believe it when you're young, but life goes by in a flash.

I passed Watt Place today and there were two abandoned supermarket trolleys against that wall. Luckily I have the trolleywise app that anyone can download from the app store and was able to photograph and report the trolleys. People from that company will come and pick them up in a few days. But there are people in Inverclyde that need to get a grip. Walking from just the Argos end of the oak mall to Delhi Deluxe restaurant past the fire station I actually found and reported six. There was also one dumped in Cathcart Square. And another on Cathcart Street that I actually pushed back over to Morrisons. People need to stop being so inconsiderate selfish and lazy and start caring about were they live and how it looks. It's a sad day when supermarkets actually have to pay people to come and collect these dumped left right and centre. Behaviour really needs to change.

I have this old (false?) memory there used to be a Templeton supermarket there on Cathcart St in the 1970s. I was a small boy back then and the surroundings look familiar to old memories. Not sure if you'd know if there was a Templetons there, but can't find anything online.
@FeedbackPeteАй бұрын
@newcoloursmusic1255 Hi I think there was and I think it later became one of the now defunct supermarkets like Shoprite or something. Those buildings are separated into some different things now but that supermarket probably took up the while building.
@FeedbackPeteАй бұрын
@newcoloursmusic1255 do you remember in the late 70's or early 80's there was also a cafe at the end of the street same side and it had an old fashioned jukebox.
@newcoloursmusic1255Ай бұрын
@@FeedbackPete ah thanks for your reply! I don't remember the old cafe to be honest. I just remember the cobbled street, and my mum and I going to (what I'm now sure was!) Templetons. It's weird because it's one of my earliest memories - was probably 3 or 4. Somehow the layout of the street being parallel to the main road, the cobbles, the spatial dimensions of it - make it memorable for me. Seeing it in this video really gave me this huge feeling that this is where Templetons was. I moved from the area down south to England in 1983, so my memories are all locked into around 1976 to 1983 from the area. Good on you for reporting those abandoned trolleys.

So many memories brought back to me, I'm 53 years old man , and I left greenock when I was 20 years old to see the world and make a life, I cried at this video not because it's a bad video but because I left a place I loved so much , that's something that happens when you fall out with your family, maybe one day I will return. But thankyou for putting up these videos the way I remember it was. E
