![Near Coronation Park. I believe this came from the nearby Gourock Ropeworks building [[[337620]]]. See [[[337654]]] for manufacturer details. Perch lighthouse on the Clyde [[[337674]]] can be seen through the hammer.](http://s0.geograph.org.uk/photos/33/76/337648_c5c11475_120x120.jpg "NS3274 : Steam hammer")

The pub on the left was gutted by fire following an arson attack in March 2009 [[1276913]].](http://s2.geograph.org.uk/photos/33/75/337582_525ced39_120x120.jpg "NS3274 : Bay Street")

See the preparation work underway at Gourock here [[[324540]]]. One linkspan will be installed at Gourock, the other at Hunter's Quay on the other side of the Clyde.](http://s0.geograph.org.uk/photos/33/77/337720_a41f3373_120x120.jpg "NS3274 : Ferguson shipyard")
