Photographer’s Note
It was late afternoon when I took this photo, no green on the trees yet, soon we hope. This house sits quite high from the main road, you can judge by the road sign, give way, that joins the main road from the Esplanade, yesterday photo was on the esplanade.
In this part of town there are quite a few of this type,
Built with Sandstone, at a time when Greenock also the River Clyde area was in full working capacity and ship owners,and ship builders were making lots of money.
Be it, the sugar/tobacco trade plus lots of others.

Hello Robert,
A good upwards composition of this fine property built on the back of trade; perhaps lacks some sharpness. Was Glasgow and Greenock involved in the slave trade like Liverpool and Bristol?

Hi Robert,
nice photo of this old-style house, good capture with well-chosen angle, good management of colors, saturation and DOF.
I am sure England has lots of old-style architecture that would be pleasure to see in your gallery.
Thank You!
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Robert.
This kind of houses reminds me the houses I saw in Cambrigde. They are in the same style.
In my opinion, you should have clonned the traffic signal...
