Clydebank . Then and now - 1
Growing up here you couldn't wait to leave school , all the shops on Kilbowie Road had tenement flats above and there was a Snooker Hall just across the road from Singers Train Station and I always thought I can't wait until I'm old enougt to go there for a game but it all got demolished to make way for the new Shopping Centre in the mid to late 1970's . At St Columba's High School we all thought we were leaving school for a job at Singers Sewing Machine Factory but PM Margaret Thatcher got in , 1979 and it got shut down and demolished for a Business Park and the Shipyards shed thousands of jobs so that idea was gone .

Duntocher Hibs .
It was a football team , folded but on the pitch the football continued so about 46 years ago the elders would pull a rail off a fence and the next thing you would be sitting on the hill watching the football but there was another way , the long way to the hill to watch the football but that was the way it was done back in those days so that's were I first came to know of The Hibs !
