Bay Street Murals, Port Glasgow

Created in April 2023, these brightly coloured murals on the site of old lockup garages depict shops and businesses which thrived on bay Street before it was redeveloped in the early 1970s when the three towerblocks were built there. Some of the businesses still exist today, but most are a distant memory.

The project to create the murals was a collaboration between local community arts company RIG Arts, River Clyde Homes and Port Glasgow West Community Council. Final details were added to the murals by Tragic O'Hara.

The murals are included in a new Port Glasgow Art Trail which maps the many public works of art which can be found around the town centre and suburbs.
