Sputnik o you have a link to song o the yard - tried various spellings but cant find it on You Tube?

Dorothy P : My location is in a top floor flat in Hyndland G12 only 6 miles but in some ways far distant from Alexander St. although we do have views down Clyde valley past the Erkine bridge to Dumbuck.

John Houston: Sounds like a great location. I envy you the view. It must be lovely.

I've been fortunate in benefitting from the graciousness of members on this thread who have been kind enough to send me photos of the "new" Clydebank, as well as historical pictures of the Clydebank I remember growing up in. Being able to see these "views" has been a great experience for me, and in some cases has forced me to adjust my thinking (I'm a big believer in the "if it works, don't fix it" school of thought!), but I'm becoming more and more flexible.

This sculpture by local artist Tom McKendrick, which is a tribute to the Clydeside shipbuilders, is located at the corner of Dumbarton Road and Beardmore Street in Dalmuir, Clydebank.  It is of the dreadnought battleship HMS Ramillies, built at Beardmore's in Dalmuir and launched in 1917. This sculpture is made from galvanised steel and sits atop a 26ft plinth.

Very welcome I'm sure .. although strangely .. the silly size version is easy to see when I view it via Windows picture viewer on my desktop but appears stupid tiny (even clicking the magnify option) when viewed in the forum post.

How does that work then Ted?
