I think these were the days when the photo would have been taken in b&w and then someone then over-painted the picture to provide some colour. It has that slightly artificial look that these early 20th or late 19th century pictures have. If that is the case, then the gold lettering to the shop front on the right is pretty impressive!

Guest TPAFKATS Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Is that glenburn reservoir? I thought glenburn was the reservoir on top of the braes rather than this, which is one of the Linns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't look like it, as this is what I've always thought was the Glenburn Reservoir: https://getoutside.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/local/glenburn-reservoir-renfrewshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original 59er Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 I know there was a post referring to cinemas in Paisley so I'll just add this one which relates more to trams than cinemas! None the less, I saw many good pictures with whatever girl friend was on the go at the time at the La Scala! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original 59er Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Just in case anyone hasn't seen this: http://www.arthurlloyd.co.uk/PaisleyTheatres.htm it is a fantastic summary of all Paisley's theatres with the history of each one. Worth spending the time to refer to each theatre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamlet Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Wonderful photos and information about Paisley Theatres. I remember being taken to see Syncopating Sandy at Paisley Theatre. He is reputed to have played the piano for 133 hours in 1956. It was not in Paisley so I guess he came as the " World Champion" around 1957ish. I can remember walking down the one side of the theatre along the front and up the other side and out. Gerry Rafferty has a song about him.

That's one of the Linns, so long since i've been there I don't know which one. Not been used for drinking water for many decades and i think it was really set up as a supply for the textiles factories in Glenfield road. I'm surprised responsibility for it has ceded to Scottish Water as it had byelaws notices from Paisley Council on it back int the day. they must have punted it on when Strathclyde came into being and it then became part of the West of Scotland Water and subsequently the scottish water estate.

There were many 1950 models on the streets of paisley in my 60s boyhood so it's hard to date this picture just on the cars, my guess is 64-ish or maybe 65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
