 Clock
Tower on Municipal Building in Port Glasgow Port Glasgow was originally a small village known as Newark. Trading ships from Europe were unloaded at Newark and the cargo was then taken up the River Clyde on smaller boats to Glasgow. In 1667 the town council of Glasgow purchased land for the construction of a harbour and breakwater. This became the first deep-water port for Glasgow and the town of Newark became known as Port Glasgow. |
