Arthurston House in Jamestown was built in 1899 the town had a history of cloth printing. Buildings on the banks of the river Leven from Dalvait to Bonhill Bridge were all printworks. The printworks lay derelict for many years until eventually they were demolished. Ninety percent of Jamestown’s houses were demolished in the late 60’s making this one of the oldest in the area. Jamestown also had a railway station and it was next to Arthurston House, it was the first stop on the Balloch to Stirling line.
