Clydebank . Then and now - 2 .
The Steedman brothers sold out Clydebank Fc and sold Kilbowie Park to the Shopping Centre and pretty soon Clydebank Fc slipped down the football Leagues until they finally went out of business and folded . Clydebank Collage got demolished and they built a housing estate that looks like it was made from Lego Bricks and the Collage relocated to the Clydeside Riverbank and isn't easy to get to . St'Columba's High School got demolished and they built the new St Eunans Primary School there and St Columba's became St Peter The Apostle High School built nearby . The old shop across from the old High School , demolished for houses .

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 !
