The Heroes Centre will be brilliant when it opens!
Superb idea for all Helensburgh folks and visitors. My family and I can't wait till it's time for curtains up on the first cinema performance ;-)
Popped in today with my husband and really enjoyed reading and looking at everything on display especially emma as we went to school together, then we went for a drink and a lovely piece of baking in the cafe. We will definately be back.
Popped in today And had a great time wandering around reading all about Helensburgh and the amazing people who lived here.Then time for a coffee and scone in the excellent 50s themed coffee shop.
Lovely little hidden gem with incredibly friendly staff and delicious food and drink at a great price! 100% worth a visit!
Love all the photographs etc. Reminds me of my teens in the 60's, but making me homesick for Scotland.
It's been my adopted home for 17 yrs now and I still love it's little quarks I'm sorry to see Clyde street schools buildings all bordered up, such a beautiful building! And I love the wee shops along the front, such an eclectic lot, but, have to say, Dino's is my fav place, I love the fact it feels like ur walking back in time, I the same can be said of central pharmacy, the history hits u the minute u walk in with all the shelves lined with potion and pill bottles! I could spend my entire life in places like those, i adore history. So, Helensburgh itself is a hero of mine.
Happy memories of spending weeks in Helensburgh as a wee girl when my mum cooked and looked after a lady in a big house at the top of Sinclair Street, I think it was called Glengyle, and had a beautiful garden. Some places leave everlasting and wonderful memories, I love getting back for a visit.
Used to visit my brother when he lived in a house in Queen Street owned by a really pleasant elderly polish couple with the adopted name McPherson. I do believe that the old gent had a trawler at one point and later, he owned a leather craft shop in the town. Another name that I remember was Bob Warrans who was a lecturer in catering at Greenock college. I would recommend the town for a nice day out for people outwith the district. My brother and I now live in Newton.Stewart.
Popped in for coffee love the decor and thecolour coffee was nice to
