Description
An account of the resource
<p>The Romans built the Antonine Wall near here in 142A.D.before retreating to Hadrian's Wall after only 20 years.</p><p><br />Farming communities and villages such as Faifley, Hardgate and Duntocher had begun to develop along the line of the Roman Wall.</p><p><br />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.</p><p><br />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.</p><p><br />Clydebank became a burgh in 1886 and by 1913 the population was 43,000. <br />On the nights of 13 and 14 March 1941, German bombers attacked the munitions factories and shipyards (also see the Clydebank Blitz tours).</p><p><br />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</p>
