Henryshott was the name of a street of houses built by Peter Denny for his workers in the shipyard. The areas was known as Little Dublin for the amount of Irish people who lived there. My GGGrandfather Patrick Lynn wasa gardner for Peter Denny and had his family home at 20 Levenhaugh Street an other street of houses. I think the other was William Street. The houses existed in Dumbarton until the mid 60s.
