Clydebank’s history
So with a geographical hold on Clydebank, what else is known about this town? Well the Roman Antoine Wall which crosses Scotland in much the same way as Hadrian’s Wall crosses northern England, runs through part of the town. This wall denoted the borders of the Roman Empire in the north and is now a World Heritage Site.
From rural and agricultural beginnings Clydebank grew in the industrial revolution of the 18 – 1900s as shipbuilding became big along the Clyde. In fact the town got its name from the shipyard of the same name. At first workers were ferried to the shipyards by paddle steamers and then tenement buildings were built to house the workers. Consequently Clydebank was born. Next came the railways and then the Singer Manufacturing Company arrived building a large sewing machine factory in the town.
The John Brown Shipbuilding Company was the largest and was responsible for building many well-known ships including RMS Lusitania and the Queen ships, Mary, Elizabeth and the QE2. The company became part of the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders and closed in the year 2000.

Did you know?
That Clydebank had a Blitz? In 1941 Luftwaffe bombers targeted Clydebank and the surrounding area. The town and the shipyards took some serious hits as did an armaments factory, an oil depot and the Sewing Machine factory. The raid lasted for two days in March and during that time more than 500 civilians were killed and more than 600 seriously injured
The Titan Crane which stands where the shipbuilding company once was has achieved Grade A historical building status. It has been refurbished and visitors can look around this cantilever crane over long weekends during the summer months. It is one of 4 left on the banks of the Clyde; the others are at Stobcross, Scotstoun and Greenock

Clydebank’s shopping centre sits on both banks of the Forth and Clyde canal. The canal and banks have been upgraded and are now user-friendly and incorporate many projects from local schools like the Goldfish Story. There are also the Bankies Benches which are heated granite seating to allow their use all year round. During this refurb in 2008 a competition was introduced for a pedestrian bridge design to link the two parts of the shopping centre. The award winning canopy bridge – the ‘swan in flight’ - which now allows this access was designed by local architects RMJM
