Save Strone Farm

Save a listed farm building which is one of the oldest buildings in Greenock. If it cannot be saved entirely at least part of it can be made into a modern historical landmark akin to the work going on in the Auchmountain Glen which parallels the farm land. I set up a project in 2013 to save the Auchmountain Glen from neglect and fly tipping so like the Socio-historic Victorian garden this farm is part of our heritage and should be saved.

Why is this important?

This landmark farm bears the name of the local housing estate the Strone and the farm has a wonderful history and has had many owners from Gabriel Dunlop to R Gardiner and the Bowes stretching almost 200 or more years back into history where adjacent was the Auchmountain Glen a Victorian garden which is now being restored. This is our heritage and the last few years have seen Greenock communities gentrified including schools and historic buildings. This is on my doorstep and I worked alongside Johnstone ( Last Farm Owner ) when I started the campaign to save the Auchmountain Glen and if I had my dream fullfilled The auchmountain Glen project could maybe have purchased this farm if it where not for red tape.
