bluto Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 It has not been shown before though I mistakenly thought it had been. Nae Doot - the TA 'halls' between Museum and Coats Memorial. Tragic waste of a classic building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tragic waste of a classic building. Always thought the University would do something with it. They cnuts are loaded, but are chosing to pish all their money away on taking over the south west of scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 The Uni for years talked about buying it and using it as their Administration Centre. For whatever reason it never happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) This page on FLICKR - here - shows current photos from both the inside and out, taken by paisley.org. It's a real shame such an historic building has been allowed to fall into this state. Edited August 31, 2012 by Eddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 PIC 94 was identified by many as the TA Hall in the High St. Another fine building designed by the great TG and built in 1896 for the Renfrewshire Militia. Later used by the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and TA. Sorry to say on the At Risk register...... http://www.buildingsatrisk.org.uk/details/911287 It had looked promising recently for its future but its all up in the air again .... http://www.paisley2020.org/updates.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting....mibbae we should get the students to campaign about it. Moany wee cnuts might just force the Uni to do something with the building. Disgrace if the Uni is allowing a listed building in Paisley to fall into such a state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 PIC 95 is of course the Martyrs' Memorial Church in Broomlands St and was built in 1848. The martyrs for whom this church is named were James Algie and John Park, who in 1685 refused to swear an oath renouncing the Covenant and accepting the King's supremacy in all civil and religious matters. They were hanged at Paisley cross, and buried in common ground at Gallowgreen in the town's west end. Later they were re-interred in the first grave in what became Martyrs' Parish Church graveyard. A monument in their honour was erected there in 1835. In 1843, the minister of Martyrs' Parish Church, along with many other ministers and a portion of the congregation, split from the Church of Scotland to become part of the Free Church of Scotland. They continued to worship in the church until expelled from the building in 1846. They worshipped in a variety of hired venues until their new church was built in 1848 in Broomlands Street. It was originally named the Free Martyrs' Church, later becoming the Martyrs' United Free Church, and then finally the Martyrs' Memorial Church in 1929. The Tower and South front were designed by the famous TG and erected in 1904. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
