Anyone remember?
We were dry-docked in Glasgow and one of the other engineers, being a local-yokel, suggested we go out to Greenock to the Clock Hotel, "Where you will have quite a surprise!". He would say no more so off we went.
The 'surprise' was the 'Engine Room Bar' and what a surprise it was! The fire-place consisted of a Howden furnace-front with pressure-gauges and other articles, you would get in an engine-room, on the bulkheads, (walls!!), and in various positions around the bar. A memorable visit! Doubtless all has gone now as it would be meaningless to the modern generation. Does anyone else remember The Clock Hotel? Phil |

It's Cloch, fellows, not Clock. Turn on the gutterals at the end.

I've just had a look----
----on a Site called Gourock History and there was a Cloch Hotel there so looks like I was mistaken with its location! Phil

Cloch Point lighthouse was famous among R/Os for its non-directional radiobeacon, used to calibrate the radio direction-finders of ships departing from the Clyde after construction or major repairs affecting the vessel's superstructure.

Cloth Hotel on Albert Road, Gourock - about 2 minutes from my childhood home. Most of the action was below street level in a bar named Davy Jones Locker
