HSS Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Not an old building but still of interest......... I was watching one of my favourite programmes,Salvage Hunters,and Drew was looking at an antique bath/shower.I couldn't believe my eyes when the camera panned in on the taps.I obviously knew of Barrheads history with toilets/baths etc but didn't know Paisley was connected too.

antrin Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Ah usetae catch tadpoles and baggy-minnows in the burn beside the flat grass, across the road from those Mills. i also played cricket there. For the school, not brilliantly, but well enough... in those days I thought the cricket pitch to be an immense space.

Ta for that. good collection of old images gathered together. Soundtrack was good, I thought, (though I dunno the artistes), and appropriate on here cos the lyrics and melody were originals by the statue guy standing outside the Toon Hall - and as a good Buddie - he's always there to watch the team celebrate and lift the cupsssss. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Tannahill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original 59er Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Two interesting views of Glasgow Road looking east, taken a few years apart, but from much the same location. It looks like the Sherwood Church spire in the distance which appears to have been in use following construction between 1889 and 1891. I particularly like the amount of trees located on the north side of the road and it gives the road a very similar feel to Great Western Road in Glasgow in the west-end. There's a bit less foliage nowadays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antrin Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Great image, Orwell. Thank you for the memories... Never seen that before. I'd forgotten the existence of that Old South Western Bar. Mibbe called that cos all the buses going to Ayr, Beith, Lochwinnoch, largs, etc passed that way along Canal Street? (Them for Elderslie, Johnstone Greenock etc went along the High Street..) It's no far enough out of the toon centre to be called South or Western... Must have been round about 56/57? A side of Wee Storie Street's still standing, though both sides of Wardrop Street are flattened. The row of low buildings going beyond St Mary's school and Bilsland's bar on the left were all Coal merchants. The yard behind them was filled with Rail marshalling yards and the coal was delivered intae there, then parcelled intae 1 cwt bags and ontae lorries for delivery. Memory Lane still husnae been demolished... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
