Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
CLYDEBANK , a police
burgh
  of Dumbartonshire,
Scotland
 , on the right bank of the
Clyde
 , 6 m. from Glasgow. Pop. (1891) 10,014; (1901) 21,591. There, are stations at Yoker, Clydebank, Kilbowie and Dalmuir, all comprised within the
burgh
  since 1886, served by both the North British and the Caledonian railways. In 1875 the
district
  was almost purely rural, but since that date flourishing
industries
  have been planted in the different
parts. At Clydebank are large shipbuilding yards and engineering works; at Yoker there is some shipbuilding and a distillery; at Kilbowie the
Singer
  Manufacturing Company have an immense factory, covering nearly 50 acres and giving employment to many thousands of operatives; at Dalmuir are the building and repairing yards of the
Clyde
  Navigation Trust. The import-ant Rothesay Dock, under this trust, was opened by the prince and princess of Wales in April 1907. The municipality owns a fine town
hall
  and buildings. Part of the parish extends across the Clyde into the shire of
Renfrew
 .
