Sonny Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) PIC 96 is the Anchor Bridge linking the Anchor Mills to Lonend. This is the bridge used by the workers to cross the Cart to get to their work with many old photographs showing the mill lassies on their way or leaving their work. Built in 1867 and B Listed. The bridge was moved about 50 meters upstream during refurbishment. Other images show that it was a lot closer to the Mill in its heyday.

Sonny Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 PICTURE 97 is the New Jerusalem Church in George St. Built in 1810 making it one of Paisley's oldest churches. Originally build as a Wesleyan Methodist Church for the workmen building the the Paisley Canal. In 1860 it was purchased by the New Jerusalem Church. The NJ Church had been around in Paisley since 1818 without a permanent home. A feature of Methodist Churches is the main Church is upstairs with the Church Hall and side rooms downstairs. The Church has 3 beautiful stain-glass windows designed by Sir Noel Paton RSA. The New Jerusalem Church heavily incorporates the philosophy of the Swedish philosopher, scientist and esoteric Emanuel Swedenborg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 PICTURE 12 was the Thomas Coats Memorial in the High St. Here are some internal photographs. The detail and carvings are quite magnificent. The baptism bath is still in use. The vestry was recently refurbished at a cost of £100,000 which included the hand painted 'wallpaper' and 5 tiles in the bog made as exact replicas of the originals at £2k a pop! The wood and marble carvings are fantastic as it the pulpit. Definitely worth a wee look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
