The Oak Mall really has a bit of a cheek calling itself a mall. If you have ever been to a shopping…read moremall in America then you'll know what I mean! The Oak Mall is really small (hey I'm a poet and I didn't know it!) and has really rubbish versions of high street stores. For example the Oak Malls Topshop has to be the worst branch I have ever been in! It is so tiny and doesn't have any of the most fashion forward, cool lines. There are a few of those really tacky "tween" shops that I love to hate such as Quiz, Unique and Internacionale, if that's you kind of thing, if it is, why?? The Oak Mall does have one of the few Adams stores left in the UK which is maybe worth a visit if you have kids. Also the Bodycare, Semi Chem and Sally Hair and Beauty stores are good for picking up cheap but branded beauty products. I still wouldn't say it's worth the trip out to the mall just for a hand full of sort of ok stores.

Every Saturday of my youth was spent trawling the floor of the Oak Mall from one end to the other…read morewith a large group of pals and people we just picked up on the way. Nowadays, there's more life in the deer i clipped with my car last night than in this place. Poundshops-a-plenty and near on 5/6 card shops (really?) as well the Oak Mall doesn't have much going for it. Empty shops and poor ones litter the once bustling West Blackhall St. For any Greenockian, this part of town lost its appeal as soon as it become closed over and refered to as "The Mall" - no character remains, sadly. I really hope the council pour some serious money into our local shopping centre by getting it back to basics

A great little station - I've been here more times than I can remember, from childhood days right…read moreup to quite recently (three months ago). It's located between two tunnels and trains run from here towards Gourock in one direction and Glasgow in the other. It's staffed full time (there are no self-service ticket machines).There is a seating area under cover but no actual waiting room. A new car park opened a short time ago and a taxi rank is now in Roxburgh Street next to some phone boxes. There are many different small shops in the vicinity including a cafe at the entrance to the station.

This is the main container terminal and deep water quay for the west coast of Scotland and has…read moreregular visits from international ships and enormous cruise liners which cross the Atlantic. It's found at the head of the Clyde estuary at the east end of Greenock's beautiful Esplanade, and underwent a £100,000 upgrade not long ago. An interesting place to see with a long history - even I have seen many changes here over the years. There is short-term parking nearby on the Esplanade itself.

I had a couple of tyres fitted because my car was due its MOT but the tyre place couldn't align…read morethem because the suspension was all worn out and wobbly. Parker Bothers were able to get the parts, fix the suspension, have the wheels aligned AND do the MOT on the car all in the same day. The car steers better now than it ever did (and to think I was blaming the state of the roads!) They're really great if you can't be without your car for long and just need the problems taken care of quickly. Top guys. I can't speak highly enough of them!
