This street is part of the Castle Quay housing development. The name Denny Crescent commemorates the former presence here of the northern part of Denny's shipyard. At a still earlier period, and as shown on the first-edition OS map (surveyed in 1860), this northern part had previously been the site of the Victoria Yard (of Denny & Rankin): see Image (For the company Denny & Rankin, see the comments at http://www.geograph.org.uk/article/Dumbarton-Cemetery#shipbuilding-and-other-industries on Peter Denny of Castlegreen and on Daniel Rankin. For the place-name Castlegreen, see comments on Image)
