By 1830 there were 500 Catholics and seeing the need for a church, St Patrick opened its doors; being the first post-Reformation Catholic church in the area. The foundation stone of the new church was laid in 1901 with the formal opening on the 22 March 1903. The foundation stone of the tower was laid on 27June 1926 by the Archbishop Mackintosh. The new marble side altars, the pulpit the altar rails, the organ, the mortuary chapel, the tower and its carillon of 23 bells had all been completed by the end of 1927 and with the erection of the Pieta on the marble altar in the basement of the tower the two years' work was brought to a successful termination.More can be found here :<a href="http://www.stpatricksdumbarton.org.uk/history.html"> http://www.stpatricksdumbarton.org.uk/history.html</a> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1903-1935 Museum Represents a museum WC No EventsForChildren No Place The town or city Clydebank HearingLoop No IsIncludedThisYear No DisabledAccess No Activities A GUIDED WALK : Monday 5th September at 2:30pm.

Farming communities and villages such as Faifley, Hardgate and Duntocher had begun to develop along the line of the Roman Wall. The Forth and Clyde Canal was opened in 1790 and at that time the only structures between the canal and the river were the Barns O'Clyde farm buildings. Clydebank began as a town when J&G Thomson opened their shipyard in 1871 on the site of the West Barns O'Clyde farm. Clydebank grew rapidly when the Singer Company began construction of Europe's largest sewing machine factory in 1882. Clydebank became a burgh in 1886 and by 1913 the population was 43,000. On the nights of 13 and 14 March 1941, German bombers attacked the munitions factories and shipyards (also see the Clydebank Blitz tours). More about the history of this area can be found in the Clydebank Heritage Trail brochure which is available from local libraries or the Town Hall or online at http://www.west-dunbarton.gov.uk/media/2619058/clydebank.pdf Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Monday 5th at 2:30pm.

Category A listed.The grand ornate red sandstone facade hints at something special. Once inside this is confirmed. Although now the Bonhill and Alexandria St Andrew’s Royal Arch Lodge, No. 321, it was actually built as the Ewing Gilmour Institute for Working Girls in 1888.The "renaissance" main hall has a hammer-beam roof, one of only three examples of this kind (the other two being at Stirling and Edinburgh Castles). What does the symbolism of the lion head and iron ring signify? The corridor leading up to it has round windows, hinting at a Japanese influence, that look onto the rear garden.Details and decor give an extraordinary Arts and Crafts ambience. Poetic quotes are engraved into the sandstone lintels and the lovely (canvas) murals by Harrington-Mann who was one of The Glasgow Boys, also with quotations, depict the ideals of young women.<img style="width: 0px; height: 15px;" src="/media/4237/masonic_frieze_hearth_dscf7414.jpg?width=0&height=15" alt="" rel="16637" data-id="16637" /><img style="width: 0px; height: 15px;" src="/media/4238/masonic_img_1272.jpg?width=0&height=15" alt="" rel="16638" data-id="16638" /><img src="/media/4238/masonic_img_1272.jpg?width=244&height=325" alt="" width="180" height="240" rel="16638" data-id="16638" /> <img style="width: 171px; height: 239px;" src="/media/4237/masonic_frieze_hearth_dscf7414.jpg?width=171&height=239" alt="" rel="16637" data-id="16637" />The library that once stocked books of instruction, now displays the pride of the Masons, also very interesting in themselves. And of course, a pub is prominent.At the other end is the large kitchen. And below in the basement a function space. But something appears missing. Where did the girls live? After all we expect this to be a boarding school. A clue is better seen from outside. A "keep" or tower rises next to the main entrance. This is a spiral stairway to the large attic. While no longer accessible, it appears that there was a long dormitory up here.And the reason for the Ewing Gilmour Institute for Working Girls?Stretching out over most of the length of the Vale of Leven had been the extensive textile industry that we now now collectively as the Turkey Red. Working conditions were harsh and class differences absolute. Yet some great advances were eventually made in remedying the situation. This was one such altruistic project to raise the prospects of young women, the most discriminated against.

Booking required. Phone the Clydebank Library at : 0141 562 2440This tour highlights the Blitz, but also takes in some of the history of the shipyards and even sewing machines. Clydebank has been transformed into a very different place, but it had been a very important shipbuilding centre. And that attracted the German bombers during WWII. The Luftwaffe carried out air raids on the shipyards and town in March 1941. The town was largely destroyed and it suffered the worst destruction and civilian loss of life in all of Scotland. 528 people died, 617 people were seriously injured, and hundreds more were injured by blast debris. Out of approximately 12,000 houses, only seven remained undamaged with 4,000 completely destroyed and 4,500 severely damaged. Over 35,000 people were made homeless. Clydebank's production of ships and munitions made it a target. A total of 439 bomber dropped over 1,000 bombs. RAF fighters managed to shoot down two aircraft during the raid, but none were brought down by anti-aircraft fire.Today Clydebank is again a thriving town albeit very different. But there are still signs of the Blitz - if you know where to look.More about the Blitz can be found online here:<a href="http://www.west-dunbarton.gov.uk/leisure-parks-events/museums-and-galleries/collections/war-and-military/blitz/">http://www.west-dunbarton.gov.uk/leisure-parks-events/museums-and-galleries/collections/war-and-military/blitz/</a> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Various Museum Represents a museum WC Yes EventsForChildren No Place The town or city Dumbarton HearingLoop No IsIncludedThisYear Yes DisabledAccess Yes Activities Amazing stained glass.Saturday 1st September.

It passed to the Semples of Fulwood in the 17th century. In 1677 it was bought by the royalist William Cochrane, 1st Earl of Dundonald (1605-1685). A tower house may have existed on the estate at this time, but in 1700 his grandson, William, built the present house which he named Levenside. His initials and coat of arms are inscribed on the stonework of the building. The architect is unrecorded. It has been suggested that William Adam, Sir William Bruce, or Alexander McGill may have been responsible. However, on stylistic grounds James Smith is considered the most likely designer. He was the most significant Scottish architect of his time and the person generally credited with introducing Palladianism into Scotland. The design of here has been compared to his houses at Newhailes near Edinburgh and Raith House in Kirkcaldy. The dovecote which stands nearby is considered to be contemporary with the house.
