| | Different Worlds | About the webmaster | A Clydebank Childhood |
 | | All "Bankies" (natives of Clydebank) are proud of their town, and its history, short though it may be, but only a few of us spent the first few years of our life living above the old Fire Station in Hall Street and playing just a few yards from the gates into John Brown's shipyard. |
 | | I entered the world in December 1956 in a maternity hospital in Helensburgh, which means that my birth certificate gives Helensburgh, not Clydebank, as my place of birth. |
 | | However my father, Sam Smillie, was a fireman in Clydebank (as were both of his brothers and his father before him), and he and my mother, Joyce, lived in one of the tied tenement flats over the Fire Station in Hall Street. |
