Nice to see the Terminus at the junction of Glenfield Road and Caplethill Road. Great memories of being brought up in Glenfield Road. Now I feel old......😉 Quote

Of course, you are correct, I initially missed the word "station" then was corrected again when it was stated as Canal Station. The Canal link of course is also very relevant for Paisley as initially (as I understand it) the Canal was built to look after the interests of a couple of industrialists, but was never truly completed to Ardrossan. Then there was the disaster, basically as most folk couldn't swim and also their clothing will have hampered them. There is a good Wikipedia article on the Canal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow,_Paisley_and_Johnstone_Canal Quote

Telford oversaw the whole canal project. He wasn't only involved in the River Cart aqueduct construction. http://www.hiddenglasgow.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9896 Some excellent pictures present and past of the canal. I've been walking past the Coats basin for the past few weeks and it's got a lot of aquatic birds living there. I think I saw some carp there too. Edited July 6, 2020 by FTOF Quote
