This tenement block on the corner of Glasgow Road & Whitecrook Street survived both bombing in Clydebank Blitz and 1970's road redevelopment. Still occupied!

Good spot Gerry. The 1899 OS 6-inch map marks this as "Old Canal", although the remains extended to the railway station boundary at that time.

My late mother worked in the cigarette kiosk in the Empire Cinema as a teenager, around 1950.
