Former graveyard site at Newark, Port Glasgow The site immediately east of the former Gourock Ropeworks mill is shown on early 20thC maps as a burial ground, possibly related to the former St Mary's Scottish Episcopal Church which stood nearby until the late 1970s. Plans to erect an apartment building here were recently submitted to Inverclyde Council. Viewed from a passing train on the Inverclyde Line.

Newark Castle - Port Glasgow Newark Castle was built by George Maxwell in the 15th century. In the late 16th century Newark Castle was inherited by Sir Patrick Maxwell, a powerful friend of King James VI of Scotland. Sir Patrick was notorious for murdering two members of a rival family and beating his wife, who left him after having 16 children. In 1597 Sir Patrick expanded the building, constructing a new north range replacing the earlier hall in the form of a three storey Renaissance mansion. At this time the barmkin wall was demolished except for the north east tower, which was converted into a doocot.

Bay Street murals - James Addison Off Sales 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.
