Clydebank Town Hall

Description

How to get there : Glasgow Road, near Kilbowie Road intersection. Recently restored and renovated 1902 building by James Miller. The clock tower was originally plain on a building which became the focus of the town's administration. A Winged Mercury figure, once above the tower and brought down by the storm of 1968, now stands above the cafe. The heavily quoined facade with frontispiece of coupled columns has some fine stone carving.
Exhibitions explore the shipbuilding history of West Dunbartonshire, the yards, ship building families, workers and famous ships that made the area renowned throughout the world for its ship building expertise.
