I passed Watt Place today and there were two abandoned supermarket trolleys against that wall. Luckily I have the trolleywise app that anyone can download from the app store and was able to photograph and report the trolleys. People from that company will come and pick them up in a few days. But there are people in Inverclyde that need to get a grip. Walking from just the Argos end of the oak mall to Delhi Deluxe restaurant past the fire station I actually found and reported six. There was also one dumped in Cathcart Square. And another on Cathcart Street that I actually pushed back over to Morrisons. People need to stop being so inconsiderate selfish and lazy and start caring about were they live and how it looks. It's a sad day when supermarkets actually have to pay people to come and collect these dumped left right and centre. Behaviour really needs to change.
I have this old (false?) memory there used to be a Templeton supermarket there on Cathcart St in the 1970s. I was a small boy back then and the surroundings look familiar to old memories. Not sure if you'd know if there was a Templetons there, but can't find anything online.
@newcoloursmusic1255 Hi I think there was and I think it later became one of the now defunct supermarkets like Shoprite or something. Those buildings are separated into some different things now but that supermarket probably took up the while building.
@newcoloursmusic1255 do you remember in the late 70's or early 80's there was also a cafe at the end of the street same side and it had an old fashioned jukebox.
@@FeedbackPete ah thanks for your reply! I don't remember the old cafe to be honest. I just remember the cobbled street, and my mum and I going to (what I'm now sure was!) Templetons. It's weird because it's one of my earliest memories - was probably 3 or 4. Somehow the layout of the street being parallel to the main road, the cobbles, the spatial dimensions of it - make it memorable for me. Seeing it in this video really gave me this huge feeling that this is where Templetons was. I moved from the area down south to England in 1983, so my memories are all locked into around 1976 to 1983 from the area. Good on you for reporting those abandoned trolleys.
thanks so much Billy. I left greenock in 1954 when I was 2 but my heart is still in greenock. I've never had a walk in the town so this is great as I'm hoping to come through in August with my son. if I get a bus through can u tell me where I get off for the town where you are filming. many thanks, margaret Jane.x I'm on a couple of the Facebook groups about greenock port and Gibby a d gourock. thanks for taki g the time to do this.xx
billy were have you been ,,, you dont remember a pub being there ??? at 5.30min ,,,, bergmans ,lounge . as it was when i worked on the door about 1988/ then,,and the cathcart disco down the side street it was also called The Trophy Room, later becoming Cafe Cini, The Limehouse and more recently The Waterline before a shortlived spell as an American-style diner.

They’ve killed my town. Once a beautiful place with beautiful people.
