Join us as we take a trip down memory lane to reminisce about what was happening in Clydebank fifteen years ago.
We have delved into the Post’s archives to pick out some stories from more than ten years ago.
Here are some photographs from our edition published on September 2, 2009.
Do you remember these stories or spot any familiar faces?
1. Mad about Baobab
A woman who lived with chronic kidney failure for 15 years claimed her condition had been dramatically eased by eating a bizarre African “wonder” fruit.
Janine Franssen, 36, was diagnosed with renal failure in 2008 and was told she urgently needed a kidney transplant as she was functioning at only seven per cent of normal capacity.
2. Important work
Work being done battling drug addiction was highlighted.
Drugs killed 23 people in West Dunbartonshire in 2008, a figure which had increased massively upon the last decade.
Alternatives — Clydebank drug and alcohol support service — held an open day to spread the word about some of the projects it is involved in which aim to combat the relentless problem of addiction.
3. Parents offered a free school dinner
Clydebank road set to close next week for five days
READ MORE:West Dunbartonshire Council (WDC) was praised for ensuring that all pupils in the first three years of primary school will get free school dinners, without being means tested — one year ahead of the national roll out in 2010.
4. Comedian glad he didn't win the Fringe gong
A Clydebank comedian who lost out on the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Best Comedy Newcomer Award said he was glad he did not win.
Funny man Kevin Bridges was delighted at being one of the four comics nominated but believed being runner-up gave him the seal of approval without the pressure.
5. Ex-pat Bankie's American honour
James ‘Jim’ White moved from the shipyards of John Brown’s to the docks of New Jersey just days after marrying wife Irene at St Peter’s Church in Partick in 1963.
Jim helped set up boys and girls teams in the area and the academy campus for ‘soccer’ teams in the town was named after him in his honour.
