I have been recently to Indian Scene (formerly Shezan tandoori) and it was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Arthur Blair Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 Greenhill Road showing the flats which occupy the ground the stadium is now built upon. IIRC Santaponsa Saint lived in one of them. My old school near the top of the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 Going up the town to see the lights was always a highlight when I was a boy. Abbey Close This weeks image from the Heritage Centre is of the Christmas lights at and from Abbey Close, c.1965. The 'Close' was absolutely full of illuminations with various features - a Spaceship, a Maypole, a Caterpillar, performing Sea Lions, Ladybirds Etc., but the best feature was possibly the wee 'Living Room' where you'd put a donation into a collection box (Provosts Coal Fund ?) to light the Fire and the 'Big Light'. The whole river, from Abbey Bridge (Bridge Street) to Abercorn Bridge (Old Sneddon Street), was illuminated with garlands of lights strung across, Dunn Square was ablaze with lights, and the gardens areas of Smithhills Street full of lit and decorated features too, and featured a view of an Spot lit Paisley Prison. On top of all of that each of the Street light covers was coloured with each a different Colour, as were, as many will remember, the Four faces of the Town Hall Clock. Today........ ?

faraway saint Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 Attending the Minors on a Saturday was the law. It’s as simple as ABC We are the boys and girls well known as Minors of the ABC And every Saturday we line up To see the films we like And shout aloud with glee We love to laugh and have a sing-song Just a happy crowd are we We’re all pals together We’re minors of the ABC.

faraway saint Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 What a building. With a bit of imagination, it could still be something special.............................suggestions? Paisley Prison Paisley Jail as captured at Christmas 1964 by Paisley photographer the late Harry Hornby. Taken from Smithills Street it was built in 1822 and closed as a prison in 1888. Part of it served as the Police Station until it was knocked down 1968. It survived a number of attempt at demolition due to its poor condition and cost of maintainance, and having being saved previously by the outbreak of WWII, it did eventually succumb to Town Planners in the latter half of the 1960's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
