Buddymarvellous Posted August 10, 2020 Report Posted August 10, 2020 And the train is pulling out of Ferguslie Station - the line circled Paisley from Gallowhill round Glenburn and Foxbar and joining the main line at St James’ Quote

What would you rather do if you had the choice, go back in time or go into the future? lt would be intersting to see what a Saint Mirren FC game was like back then and hear the banter at the match . The people in that pic all look well dressed and l am sure that is Tom in the foreground . . Quote

Going back a few years to Love Street I thought there was much more humour and many more songs sung on the terraces. Quote

HSS Posted August 29, 2020 Report Posted August 29, 2020 The cobble street on Braids Rd has been lifted!!!! Quote
Eric Arthur Blair Posted August 31, 2020 Report Posted August 31, 2020 Not Paisley for a change but somewhere most of us will be familiar with...North St Glasgow in 1968 before the M8 ploughed through. That's the Mitchell Library on the right, Bath St on the left. Quote
The Original 59er Posted August 31, 2020 Report Posted August 31, 2020 3 Post Cards of our town................. The weather must have been a lot better in these days that you needed awnings all the way up the north side of the High St! Quote
The Original 59er Posted August 31, 2020 Report Posted August 31, 2020 I remember this being opened, tho' I don't remember Sean doing the actual ribbon cutting exercise. Quote
The Original 59er Posted August 31, 2020 Report Posted August 31, 2020 Looking at this, Johnstone High Street at the square hasn't changed that much!! Quote
Eric Arthur Blair Posted August 31, 2020 Report Posted August 31, 2020 That picture of Greenlaw Avenue, other than the railings no longer present, it hasn't changed. Quote

The Original 59er Posted August 31, 2020 Report Posted August 31, 2020 Funnily enough I have little or no knowledge of Gallowhill House other that what I've read on Google. But it was a grand house in its time. It would have been interesting to see it when it was this ornate. Quote
The Original 59er Posted August 31, 2020 Report Posted August 31, 2020 Does anyone remember the toy shop down Cotton Street opposite the Abbey and what it was called? A photo would be great.............. I used to spend my ill gotten gains in that shop more than any other toy shop in the town. Quote
