s.bucy Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Looking for info. on Greens Bayou in the 1940s. My father was living with a family, the Clay's, when he was a teenager. Mrs. Clay owned or managed a nursery (trees & plants) in the area. Mr. Clay built their house, a large log house. At the time I'm sure it was a ruarl area north west of Houston. Does anyone remember this area? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashikaga Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 My dad said that we lived in Greens Bayou when I was about a year old. Does it still exist?I talked to my dad last weekend. He told me that the name of the place that he worked for when we lived in Greens Bayou was called Todd Shipbuilding. He said that we lived there when I was about a year old. I'm now 48. I don't think that that company would still be there after that many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that that company would still be there after that many years.I did the research for you...http://www.sname.org/sections/texas/April2...0in%20Texas.pdfBrown Shipbuilding was an emergency yard, built in 1941 at thejunction of Green's Bayou and the Houston Ship Channel, with $9mmin funding from the Navy....After the war, the yard was sold to Todd Shipyards and becameTodd's Houston division (not to be confused with Todd HoustonShipbuilding, which closed after the war). Until recently it was KBR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northbeaumont Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I did the research for you...http://www.sname.org/sections/texas/April2...0in%20Texas.pdfand then a 2001 Halliburton Press Releasehttp://www.halliburton.com/news/archive/20...snws_042401.jspMy cousin told me that he found out that Greens Bayou is on the north side of the ship channel where the Washburn Tunnel comes out. On the map it looks like when you get over to the south side you are in Pasadena on Richey Street. That's the picture on TexasFreeway.Com that I saw of State Highway 225 of the Richey Street exit. You can see the sign of what used to be Timmers/Boyd Mullen Chevrolet. I didn't know that Pasadena was so close to that part of Houston that IH-10 goes through.

yuan1274 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Is Green's Bayou near Channelview?It might be. Maybe someone will tell us. Someday I'd like to "make a loop" and drive through the Washburn Tunnel, then cross back over on the Lynchburg Ferry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
