  1. Judging by appearances, does the building now belong to the university for student accommodation.
  2. Not disputing that.Only saying P.O. was built on the square in front of goods yard, eventually.So that makes it behind the P.O.that was eventually built there. That became that stoatir of a pub.
  3. Good yard is where the carpark is at rear of pub(old post office) and there used to be cellar entrance between P.O. and station.
  4. Only been inside it once at a sunday serve,when I was in the boys brigade in Lady Lane.(10th).Many moons ago.
  5. Robert Cochrane & Son Department Store,before it became Arnott,s(which belong to House of Fraser). From Evening Times The media consultant and former Paisley journalist recalls: “I remember the department store when it was called Robert Cochran and Son, before Arnotts took over in the early Seventies. “Arnotts as we know it now was not only an iconic building in Paisley, it was an iconic shop where you could get almost anything you needed. And it seemed there was always a shop assistant within touching distance to ask if you needed help, no matter where you were in the store. I always reckoned the Arnotts tearoom on the top floor had the best view in Paisley from any café or restaurant in the town. Macdonald recalls: “Get yourself a window seat and you could enjoy the vista of Paisley Abbey and it’s grounds along with the fine architecture of Paisley Town Hall.” The store had been owned by the House of Fraser retail chain. But the group struggled with multi-million pound debts from 1996 and at the turn of the millenium decided an Edinburgh developer’s offer of £2.1m was too good to turn down.
  6. Believe you can access tower on ' Doors Open Days'. Etc. 2011 and 2009 has shoots from tower of Coates ; http://uk.video.sear...s+Open+Day+2011
  7. On Back Sneddon Street,which was split when ringroad was built,now reached via Maxwell St.
  8. Its the building on the extreme right,you can just catch the gable end,is where the homeless building was.
  9. Most probably was. As there's a concrete wall the length of the Piazza splitting the river in two supporting the deck.
  10. The Regal was close to the west end. ABC Minors on Saturday morning.Batman and Robin favourite.
  11. Should have given us a clue insaintee. Had to go back to the 12th, to find out it was Nugent. Ye,he played for Port Glasgow
  12. Omitted it being the Landmark Furniture Store after Lang and before it was flats. The Nethercommons Carpet Works was also called the Landmark Factory (may explain furniture store name) .(Location cited as NS 482 651). Carpet factory, Inchinnan Road, founded in 1870 by Ronald, Jack and Co Ltd. An unusual 3-storey, 2-by-18-bay, red-and-white-brick building with deeply recessed windows and decorative string courses, dated 1912, and an older 3-storey, 4-by-14-bay, red-and-white-brick block, with north-light rdged roof. Alternative Names Ronald, Jack And Co Ltd; Landmark Factory
  13. Actually it's Lang.Even I wrote it down wrongly. If you look at the picture more closely,there's a clue.
  14. No prob. Filshill premises had burnt down and they decided to move to Hillington Estate.
  15. No.That was in the big empty void on the left of the building opposite the van hire shop.
  16. The photo shown was after the carpet factory.It then belonged to Langs the Timber Merchants.It's last owners before it became flats,used to be one of our chairmen at Love Street. G. L. Foulds. Some of our older members will recall his wife, Maggie Foulds and the receiption she used to recieve for the North Bank.(Jim Clunie)
  17. 9 appearances for Aberdeen and 3 for Blackpool. Done alright for himself over two seasons. NOT Better than Samson. NO
