buddiecat Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 PICTURE 77 is 10-12 George ST. B Listed and built in 1840. Unsure about its original use (warehouse related to the cotton / weaving industry?) but it is now flats. Check http://www.mcewanfra...k/property-1565 if you fancy buying one. Decided to go back to a CLUE again for the next one. PICTURE 78 CLUE is ........ eric clapton shot somebody here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Sorry guys. Been on Sunny Millport over the weekend. No sign of wee Chico hiding there. I thought a lot of you would recognise the building from the inside and am impressed that you took enough time on the way in to have a good look at the building as you wouldnt see it on the way out through the back way to the black vans. It is indeed Paisley Sheriff Court. A Listed. Built 1885 with Clarke & Bell being the Architects. I look forward to reading your memories of this place. PICTURE 78 CLUE is the second image.

Qarsaan Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 We need a clue for this one...looks like an old school again. Maybe I been away too long ... but I thought it was an east end church? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Sid Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Maybe I been away too long ... but I thought it was an east end church? We've already had the one with the dodgy spire. Cannae imagine all the godless creatures that reside in the East End would require more than one token church - and it cant be as far out as Ralston as that is not in Paisley.

Enjoy the sunshine folks My interest in this thread hasn't waned any Sonny, but I must admit I'm not visiting as frequently due to the Jools/Parisi/Perthshire fiasco that general nonsense has deteriorated into over the last few weeks, I'm hoping for a return to normality shortly, but fear it won't last long as things usually go a bit daft when the schools get out for the holidays.

Thanks guys. Was beginning to feel I was just posting to myself. I am so aware the silly season has started with some downright rubbish being posted and I too will read very little except the Rumours Forum over the next couple of months. I'll post a shot every few days or even weekly to keep things going until some greater normality and interest returns with the fitba.

Sonny Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) I thought you would have got that Sid as you seem to have an interest in Glasgow Rd (but not as far as Ralston). PICTURE 78 is the Arthur Allison Memorial Hall built by Robert Allison in memory of his brother Arthur. The Hall was the Church Hall of Greenlaw Church and built in 1893. The architect? - none other than the great TG himself (again!). C Listed (surely some mistake? All TG's buildings should be B listed at least.) Robert Allison was another of Paisley's many philanthropists and he almost single handedly put up the finance to build the tower at the Abbey and demolish the slums around it and landscape the area. He started off as a timber merchant in Love St and soon had a large business of shipping, timber and insurance. I have printed the full image of PICTURE 79 as I have absolutely no idea as to anything about this building in Whitehaugh Ave near the Allison Hall. I have magnified the inscription to see if it helps anyone provide some more info on it. Images 4 and 5 here.

Eddy Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) I think it was an old army barracks Still in use AFAIK - previously the Royal Artillery Barracks, now used by the Air Cadets. Edit: think the Air Cadets have moved to Hawkhead now (seems they were originally based at Rolls Royce). Seems to have been attached to the military for some time - shows up as barracks on Bluto's old Paisley Maps - you can see it here Edited May 24, 2012 by Eddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
