Duntocher

Post by MOREN » Wed Mar 04, 2015 9:07 am

Hello
I'm trying to track down any old photographs (before 1950) of Main St Duntocher.

The area I'm interested is around what is now the Village Tavern.

I have contacted the Clydebanks Heritage Centre and have one from them.

There's an Archive photo collection at:
http://www.west-dunbarton.gov.uk/librar ... phs-index/

The index only has 1 for Duntocher it'self [likely the one you have?] but it also shows you the present image, which is great.

Stenlake have a book of old photos of the area: http://stenlake.co.uk/books/view_book.php?ref=376

If you are local the library will probably have it.

Hi WilmaM
Thank you very much for the reply :D
Yes I have seen the one on that site and been in touch to find out if they had anything else.

The book is where the Clydebank Heritage Centre got the picture they sent to me.

Hi I'm from Clydebank.There's a Facebook page called CallYerselfaBankie? There are a collection of snaps of Clydebank through the ages on there.If you are on Facebook worth joining.I'm sure Clydebank library Archives will have photos too.
.I have to say that Main St Duntocher has not changed much over the years.
