Renfrewshire / Re: 14 Inchgreen Street in Greenock 1902 - 1915?

Hi Cranston,
I am attaching a couple of outline maps of the shipyards and on one it shows Inchgreen Street. This street formed the Western boundary of Lithgows Kingston Yard. It also extended across Port Glasgow road and this was the part of the street that had tenement buildings where your great uncle would have stayed. Port Glasgow road was the main thoroughfare and at the port Glasgow boundary the name changed to Ardgown Street. I am not a member of Roots so they will not allow me to reply to a PM

I have this photo from my collection showing Inchgreen Street, the street running between the yard and the gasworks. To the right of Inchgreen Street is Boundry Street with The Lithgow Club building clearly visible. To the right of that again is Argyle Street. In the foreground of the photo directlly above Inchgreen Street is the top of Shankland Avenue. If you take a look at Google Maps, Inchgreen Street is still shown on the map and it is the entrance to BPI Industries, the pavement contours are probably still there from the 60s.
