I remember being in there aged 16 when I probably should have been in Paisley Tech studying. I seem to remember it being called The Doctor's.

Trams were still going in the 50's but I think they were gone by 1960. The last tram ran in Glasgow in '62. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like there is another bar beside The Metropolis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
