Bouverie Street Port Glasgow.....

[Kathy]

Bouverie Street Port Glasgow, seems to be a re-occuring address in my line of research.

As near as I can work out, the houses were built in the late 1800's or early 1900's, still standing, still occupied, overlooking the town of Port Glasgow.

I was wondering, on building as old Bouverie Street, is it possible there is a history recorded, if so, where would I find it?

I have tried emailing the Strathclyde Council, no reply from them.

Hi Kathy,

Afraid I can't answer your query about the history of the street, but just wanted to check that you'd seen the pictures of it at this site.

Hi Kathy
I wonder if the valuation rolls have survived? The Mitchell Libraray may be able to help.

I have tried emailing the Strathclyde Council, no reply from them.

Did you mean "Inverclyde" Council?......... Strathclyde Council no longer exist

Hi Jim,

I was trying to recall from memory, it was Inverclyde, I had used the "contact us" spot on the website.

It would seem that research can only be done with a personal visit to the Mitchell Library, no online research, I could probable spend a lot of time there, but the travelling is a bit far.

Thanks for the interest.
