Clydeneuk House Once grand and fine house that oversaw the fountain in its garden, and the River Clyde beyond that. Built in 1857, it lasted for 106 years, so was demolished in 1963, during which time it was known locally as The Candyman’s House. There are some more remains nearby, but these are little more than some pieces of low wall and steps that lay in the grounds. More significant are the gates to the property, and a section of the original perimeter wall which still stand along a section of disused road nearby. An early 1800's map shows Threeneuk House in the area at first – Threeneuk being the name given to the area before it became known as Clydeneuk. Since the map was dated 1816, the date of 1857 may be queried. The later date came from a book about the area, in an explanatory note beneath a photograph of the house. The Candyman name seems to have been down to its ornate appearance, which included turrets, rather than any connection to any of the owners. No details have been offered, but it has been said that house once had a small zoo, and cellars that were used as shelters by locals during the war. @@Well Done The Sweeney Toddlers FTF@@
