Old Photograph Lady Alice Park Greenock Scotland

Old photograph of Lady Alice Park in Greenock by Glasgow, Scotland. The park is named after Lady Alice Shaw Stewart, whose husband, Sir Michael Hugh Shaw Stewart, gave six acres of ground on Inverkip Road to Greenock Corporation in 1908 to create a recreation facility for local children, and, at the same time, provide relief work during high unemployment. Work began in October, and at times employed up to 128 men on the site. The Lady Alice Park was opened on 27 May 1910 by Lady Alice. History Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to travel and visit one day.
