What is recorded here

Castlebank Street in Partick still carries the weight of ships that no longer float, though the exact dock has vanished from modern memory. The address marks a dry dock where heavy hulls rested on stone, lifted from water for hammer and flame. Men may have stood beneath keels, listening for cracks in wood or metal, while the street above forgot the labour below. The numbers on the door preserve more than a location; they hold the shape of industry that stopped making itself visible.
