Sonny

This is PIC 93. Where is it and what was it used for? Anyone?

I would not define it as sport although there is an element of activity involved

No, all shots are buildings that still exist.

Good try Insaintee but no.

Indirectly HSS. Its not a school but young people would learn something in this building.

No and no

PIC 92 Is the Gaelic Church in Oakshaw. B Listed (second image). The Gaelic Church in Oakshaw Street was built in 1793 by Highlanders who were living in Paisley, and services were conducted in Gaelic. Originally it was not recognised as a separate parish church and came under the control of the High Church. It was granted full status in 1874, and from then on was known as St Columba's. In 1959 the congregation moved to a newly built church in Foxbar. The empty church in Oakshaw was used for a time by the social work department, and was then converted into private flats. PIC 93 Clue is the first image .....

The name is a giveaway but I am sure there are some young 'uns on here who are not aware of the building or where it is but I think our more mature followers have filled in the details in their own cryptic ways. I'll make today's a wee bit more challenging

PIC 92 CLUE is an easy one ......

He will appear in due course Somner

Dont think he has had much success

Sid?

Pic 91 is this chap .......

Barshaw House (now flats) is situated at the back of Barshaw Park in the east end of Paisley. It was built in the early 1800s by Robert Smith, and later reconstructed by wealthy Paisley businessman James Arthur. The estate was sold to Paisley Town Council in 1911, with the park officially opening the following year. The mansion house became an infirmary, and in1917 a military hospital for wounded soldiers. Paisley Town Council then opened Barshaw Hospital as a maternity and child welfare unit in 1921 (giving birth to the well known Paisley phrase "were you born in a park ?"). It was transferred to the National Health Service in 1948 as Barshaw Maternity Hospital and was under the Board of Management for Paisley and District Hospitals until 1974 when it was placed in the Renfrew District of Argyll and Clyde Health Board. It closed as a maternity hospital in 1959 and reopened as a geriatric hospital in 1961. From ThePeerage.com Thomas Glen Arthur married Elizabeth Winthrop Coats, daughter of Sir James Coats, 1st Bt. and Sarah Ann Auchincloss, on 26 September 1888. He died on 2 February 1907. Thomas Glen Arthur lived at Barshaw, Renfrewshire, Scotland. Barshaw House today Millar A H (1889) The castles and mansions of Renfrewshire and Buteshire The mansion of Barshaw stands about a mile and a-half to the east of Paisley, and its commanding tower attracts the attention of the tourist who travels from Glasgow by rail in that direction. The oldest portion of the building was erected early in the present century by the then proprietor, Mr. Robert Smith; but after it was acquired by the late Mr. James Arthur, he made extensive additions to it, and entirely re-constructed the interior. The alterations then made have had the effect of transforming what was a plain and commodious country residence into a magnificent mansion-house. One of the main features of the new building is the large conservatory. James Arthur of Barshaw, by whom these alterations were made, merits some notice as one of the most successful Glasgow merchants of modern times. He was born at Paisley in 1819), and entered into business there at an early age. His first venture having been eminently successful, he soon removed to Glasgow, where he found a much wider field for the exercise of his mercantile ability than was afforded by his native town. About forty years ago he entered into partnership with the late Mr. Hugh Fraser, and founded a drapery establishment- at the corner of Buchanan Street and Argyll Street, Glasgow, under the designation of Arthur & Fraser. The business was rapidly extended and additional accommodation provided, until the warehouse in Argyll Street, which had once been amply sufficient for its requirements, had developed into an extensive block of buildings. The firm still exists in a flourishing condition, under the style of Fraser, Sons & Co.; but Mr. Arthur's connection with the firm ceased many years ago. In 1860 he founded the wholesale drapery business of Arthur & Company, which has since become one of the largest concerns of the kind in the kingdom. Its development was principally accomplished through the untiring energy, activity, and business capacity of Mr. Arthur; and his enterprising spirit led him to open up new commercial fields in various parts of the world. Nor were his efforts confined to one department of commercial enterprise: he was one of the founders of Young's Paraffin Company, and was deeply interested in the " Loch Line " of ships trading to Australia, and in the famous " Clan Line " of steamers. He was, for many years, a prominent Member of the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, and was deeply interested in the progress of that city. Mr. Arthur was actively engaged in business up till the time of his death, which took place on 17th June, 1885. The estate is now in the possession of his widow, Mrs. Jane Arthur.

I'll be referring back to this building in the near future Langbank Picture 90 is the the following. Surely someone will identify it!

Well done Langbank B Listed. Built in 1899 as part of the Ferguslie Mills complex it was used as a Girls Hostel for some of the many girls who came from the Highlands and Islands to work in the Mills. Architect was T.G. Abercrombie. Now converted to flats. Another example of the philanthropic nature of the Coats' family. Any suggestions for Pics 90 and 91 anyone?

PIC 88 is the building at 11 Knox St Paisley. Much to my surprise it is not Listed. Does anyone know anything about the history of this building besides it once being a Social Club ? . I know there used to be a Hall opposite it which was used by the Carbrook St Primary - was that Hall connected in some way to 11 Knox St?

I am back! Had a great two weeks in the micro-climate of the Inner Hebridies where the sun shone every day. Now back in rainy Paisley for the game . PICTURE 87 is Newark House in Manor Park Ave (Near Stanely Dam). B Listed. Built in 1900 with the architect being T Greenlees and substantially extended in 1931 with the architect being J Steel Maitland. I do not know anything else about this building except it is now converted to flats. Can anyone else give some history on it?

OK guys. I think you have PICs 87 and 88 although no-one has named them or their location. Until that happens I won't show the full image. As I am away for the next 12 days I have left you no less that 3 clues. PIC89 CLUE, PIC 90 CLUE and PIC 91 CLUE are as follows. Note that if anyone requires any further clues when I am away then ask Sid
