32 Clydeferry Street

[RJ_Paton]

Just browsing and came on your post re Clydeferry St. Anderston, My Gt. Grandfather John William Stewart b. 1863. lived at 15 Clyde St. in 1883, is this the Clydeferry St? which came first? is it possible there may be a picture out there somewhere of this address?

It's possible that this was the street but prior to the reorganisation of the street names in the 1920's and 30's there were at least 3 streets named Clyde Street in Glasgow.

I had a great uncle who died there in 1966. This building was constructed as a budget hotel for visitors to the Glasgow International Exhibition in 1901. It was also lodging house for single men, who were employed in the nearby docks etc. Accommodation for single men in Glasgow was, met partly by the Glasgow corporation’s model lodging houses, it was demolished in 1967 to make way for the Kingston bridge.

Hi Annypanny,

I know this is a very old thread (!) but on the off chance you're still active on here, there is a chance we have the same relative - I have one who also died at this address in 1964, age 57. In my case, a John Finlay (my great-great uncle).
