Old Admin.building.

The blackest event in the history of Brown & Polson took place at 6.40am on the 5th June, 1964, when the animal feed plant, a large building to the rear of the rear in Braids rd, was completely destroyed in a huge explosion. Workers who had arrived for the 6.45am shift had to run for their lives. Local firemen, ambulance men and workers tore at the rubble in the search for casualties, while anxious relatives stood waiting for news. Four men were killed and four badly injured. A local policeman described the disaster, “I have seen terrible things during the war, but never anything like this. I remember being awoke by the explosion and we used to live at the top of Braehead Road. Was at primary school back then.

Think at one time(19th century)it has been a single house.

Think it was down to people being slightly illiterate and wrote it down as it sounded.As often happens on here.

Sonny,I have also noticed a building of interest with mill connection,along the road from the lodge at No.78. Any photos.Little known building.

Why.Do you have snails on the menu.

Judging by appearances, does the building now belong to the university for student accommodation.

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.

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.

Only been inside it once at a sunday serve,when I was in the boys brigade in Lady Lane.(10th).Many moons ago.

No one outside the Old firm.

What position did he play in.

With what. What rumours.

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.
