To mark the birthday of the world famous Scots eng To mark the birthday of the world famous Scots engineer & inventor James Watt (#bornonthisday 1736), whose steam engine was a keystone of the Industrial Revolution, we are today focusing on Goad's Old Street Maps of Greenock, Watt's birthplace. Because of the impact of Watt's invention on British & European industrial development, it could be argued that Greenock is also the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. The city of Greenock itself became an important hub of industry in the 19th century, and played a key role in the development of the essential western route to the coast from Glasgow, both for the steamboats on the River Clyde and the developing railway network. Unfortunately Greenock suffered badly from bombing during WWII; as a result such maps as the Goad Fire Insurance Maps offered here provide a fascinating insight into how the city was before. Today Greenock is perhaps best known for an altogether more modern form of powering: computing, with IBM having had a base in the city since 1951 (albeit in considerably reduced form since 2016). But it is for its most famous son James Watt that the city will always be best remembered.
