  • Port Glasgow in the 18Th Century Stuart Nisbet
    RLHF Journal Vol.3 (1991/2) 3. The Growth of Port Glasgow in the 18th Century Stuart Nisbet The importance of Port Glasgow in its role as Glasgow's early sea port is undeniable. However most general histories of Glasgow have concentrated on the port’s through trade and paid little attention to the town or its people. Despite being administered from Glasgow, Port Glasgow has a rich history of its own, which has been largely ignored to date (1). Recently a detailed study of the town’s feuars has provided an insight into its early development and its people. The 18th century growth of Port Glasgow is illustrated in Figure 1, summarised in three main phases. From its founding in 1668 right on the shore, houses gradually spread up Custom House Lane. From 1675 breast work was built along the sea to the west and warehouses and cellars established to serve shipping (2). The town's early rate of growth was remarkable. In the period from 1700 to 1780 the population doubled every two decades (3). The second phase of growth was the general development inland up narrow lanes and closes from the Breast towards King Street. The original expansion around Custom House lane had been haphazard, but from 1718 a planned layout was established, with the building of the first church. Kirk Street leading from the shore to the church, together with King Street at right angles, formed the basis for Glasgow Council's grid plan of the town. Town planning was often enforced in a retrospective manner, such as in 1677 when several unauthorised buildings were taken down 'to allow those who have feued to build' (4).

Understanding Scottish Places Summary This report presents a summary of the Your Town Audit (YTA) for Irvine, conducted by Scotland’s Towns Partnership and EKOS. The detailed YTA Framework and Data Workbook are provided under separate cover. The YTA was developed to provide a framework to measure and monitor the performance of Scotland’s towns and town centres using a series of Key Performance Indicators. It provides a comprehensive audit of Irvine with data on up to 180 KPIs across seven themes – Locality, Accessibility, Local Services, Activities + Events, Development Capacity, Tourism, and Place + Quality Impressions. The Understanding Scottish Places (USP) data platform provides a summary analysis for Irvine and identifies 12 comparator towns that have similar characteristics, with the most similar being Wishaw, Bellshill, Ardrossan and Blantyre.1 The USP platform – www.usp.scot – describes Irvine in the following general terms: Irvine’s Interrelationships: an ‘interdependent town’, which means it has a medium number of assets in relation to its population; average diversity of jobs; and residents travel a mix of short and long distances to work and study.

  • Port Glasgow's Landed Gentry and Gentlemen Farmers
    1 Port Glasgow’s Landed Gentry and Gentlemen Farmers By John Smith Page 1 Introduction to the Estates Page 2 A Chronology of the Six Port Glasgow Estates Page 5 Broadfield, Woodhall, and Broadstone Mansion Houses Page 17 Prominent Citizens and their Legacies Page 28 Coastline Estates, Murders and Timber Pond Deaths Page 32 Poaching, and Fyfe Park’s sad involvement Page 39 Broadfield and Broadstone Fox Hunting and Shooting Page 44 Coastal Estates Degraded by the Railway and Others Page 45 Woodhall and its Shipyard Opportunity Page 48 Transformation of the Estates by House Building Page 49 Summing Up 1. Introduction to the Estates This piece of writing attempts to tell some of the stories about six old estates that lay to the east of Port Glasgow in the nineteenth century and eventually got swallowed up in the town in the twentieth century. Initially the estates lay in Kilmacolm Parish before being incorporated by Port Glasgow as Port Glasgow moved eastwards. The stories will deal with the topics of brutal murders, infanticide, great wealth and great poverty, mainly in the times of the mid to late nineteenth century when Port Glasgow was rapidly changing as industry grew, and outside influences such as the railways made their mark. Three of the estates (Fyfe Park, Nether Auchenleck and Carnegie Park) were coastal estates belonging to gentlemen farmers. They stretched from the western boundary of Fyfe Park Estate at the Clune Brae Burn to the Carnegie Park Estate boundary at the east side of the present-day cemetery at Heggies Avenue. These smallish estates of about twenty-five acres or so were owned by men who made their living market gardening or rope making.
