Bouverie, Port Glasgow

Bouverie is an area of the town of Port Glasgow, Inverclyde, Scotland. Bouverie was developed in the late nineteenth century as part of Port Glasgow's eastward expansion. Originally consisting of ancillary shipbuilding-related businesses, and workers' housing, it now consists mainly of residential buildings and a handful of small service industries. Including Bouverie Motors, the owner of which bought much of the lands of the disused Gourock Ropeworks mill site. The land banks steeply upward towards the twentieth century housing areas of Whitecroft and Bridgend in upper Port Glasgow, and has impressive views over the River Clyde. Bouverie is situated behind the site of the former Gourock Ropeworks mill, which is now loft apartments, with a retail establishment on the grounds. The street was bombed during the second world war, but contrary to popular local belief, historic maps show that Bouverie never had tenements running the full length of both sides of the street. The Bouverie Street tenements were demolished in 2014.

Newark Castle, Port Glasgow

Newark Castle is a well-preserved castle sited on the south shore of the estuary of the River Clyde in Port Glasgow, Inverclyde, Scotland, where the firth gradually narrows from the Firth of Clyde and navigation upriver is made difficult by shifting sandbanks. For centuries this location was used to offload seagoing ships, and led to the growth of Port Glasgow close to the castle on either side and to the south. When dredging techniques made the Clyde navigable as far as Glasgow the port became a shipbuilding centre, and the castle was surrounded by shipyards. Ferguson Shipbuilders, the last shipyard on the lower Clyde, stands close to the west of the castle, but the shipyards to the east were removed around the 1980s and new landscaped areas formed to the east of Newark Castle, opening up scenic views of the castle and across the Clyde from a new bypass road.
