Eddy Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 You're right about Sairsail and the Wood map has the track beside the Cart as Sacel or Sacal... But how'd you get to 'sieve stones' from there....? The only thing I could find was this..... "There are references to Blackhall on maps dates back to at least 1596. A chapel once stood at Blackhall. The latin name for chapel is sacellum, and this is from where the name Saucel derives." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's it! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacellum I was too 'smart'... thinking it was a gaelic thing just cos my Faither's Grannie came doon fae Benbecula and mah Grampa fae Skye. I should have stuck wi mah Maw's side - who were in Paisley way afore the Last Ice Age... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I think that was it, aye. I lived beside the school so little need... So it was still going in the 60s, then? Right up until 1968 apparently until it was sold to th Stakis organisation who upped the prices but continued to sell canteen food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Is it not Pladda rather than Bladda? Bladda is the name on the old maps of the archaeological report found by Eddy and was the name of the Lane in front of the Mill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddiecat Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Going by the earlier clues the High church it's called oakshaw trinity church nowadays - it's the same building though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 PICTURE 108 is the High Church. It may now be known as the Oakshaw Trinity but historically and for most Buddies it will always be the High Church. A Listed. Their own web site provides all you may want to know .... http://oakshawtrinity.org/about-us-2/paisley-high-church-1754-19.html I have some internal shots from Doors Open day. Worth a look next Doors Open Day (or pop in any Sunday ) . Sorry about the recent delays between images. I have just been very busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pod Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) Bladda has exhausted my Google-fu I'm afraid. May have been a medical connection, as it was also the site of the old Infirmary before it moved to Neilston Road.

Sonny Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 No HSS. I have never repeated an image. Often discussions wander off the image in question and other subjects are brought up. I think this particular edifice has been mentioned in this thread but there has not been an image of it posted.
