This book gives information on how life was in Greenock and district during the decade of the 1960's.
After the greyness of post-war austerity, the sixties was a period of great social change. In Greenock, the old dilapidated buildings were being demolished and replaced with modern homes that had baths and indoor toilets. New schools, roads, and even a modernised town centre were in the pipeline, as changes happened at a rapid pace.
The shipyards, engineering works, sugar refineries, and mills employed many people and unemployment in the town was relatively low. People were better off financially and most homes had a television set, and some families even had a motor car.
There was hope and optimism that the right decisions would be made to ensure that Greenock continued to flourish and grow.
