One of the few days he couldn't be bothered walking to The Bluebird in Causeyside Street. Was it Tom Smith the Butcher or the Off License your Gran worked in? Only other shop I can remember was Alisatair's the Dairy but that was maybe 54. Three Bowling Clubs in photo. Just to add to another debate , the Chinese Restaurant across the road from the Red Buildings must be in with a shout for being one of the first to open in Paisley.

Hands up, I guessed the number of the shop in George Street. Was there not a Co-op shop in that block?There was a photo of the high street posted about a month ago with what looked like a Chinese Restaurant that possibly pre dates Kwang Tung.

Cookie Monster Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 High Street, June 1965. Brilliant photos. The one above would rule Kwang Tung out of being Paisleys first Chinese?WELCOME TO KWANG TUNGOur restaurant has a history dating back to the sixties, making it one of the first Chinese establishments in Paisley.[emoji6][emoji106] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
