Calside

This weeks 'then' Photo from the Heritage Library shows the Calside-Causeyside-Neilston Road gushet as it was back 59 years ago in 1963. The old tenements of 6-10 Calside and those of Stirling Street are newly demolished to make way for the Maisonettes which replaced them, with the loss of Stirling Street from the Map altogether.

In the foreground is the 'Hygenic Fountain' Gifted by George Hamilton of Blackland Mill Circa 1900 with the underground Toilets in the shadow of the building to the left. and ahead, is the Craig Dhu Pub housed in the tenement built for Publican Alexander Adam back in 1906 by local Architect John Albert Rennison. The Police Call-box on the Kerbside has long since gone, with the more recent loss of the Public Telephone Box

My GP was just around the corner on Neilson rd, Dr Armitage.

This reminded me that there are stone stairs and a bandstand buried under soil in the fountain gardens (Caledonia street end)

H&S wallopers would have a fit with these........................there was one in the Fountain gardens, a life saver in the long hot summers.

Today

[faraway saint]

Might not be the correct thread but Paisley on the One Show right now.

An item on Barshaw Park garden project. 

[Rascal]

Royal Barshaw was an early golfing venue when I started playing the game. Good to see the area being given prominence.

That looks like antrin on the left.

Far too young to be antrin.

George Street still the busy main thoroughfare then, as Canal Street’s dual carriageway still incomplete.
