Eric Arthur Blair Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 The shop at the corner of Seedhill Rd and Lacy St which, much later of course, would be owned by Frank McGarvey and then Tony Fitzpatrick. Pic is from c1960, the bridge was removed later that decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamlet Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 3 hours ago, Albanian Buddy said: I have no memory of that bridge. Did it link the Canal St line with the “other side”? It crossed the Glasgow Road and headed towards the main Paisley to Glasgow railway track close to the Barbers where the Lion sits above. The Lyon family ran a coal merchants business around the railway area and I would guess the family owned the house. In the late fifties Tom Lyon ran a taxi company. The typical railway arches are still in place at the bottom of Greenlaw Drive just before the entrance to Kelburne Cricket Club. The track then continued to join the main track at the side of the foot bridge that takes you to Gallowhill Road. Where the houses are at Arkleston Drive was what was called a shunting area. At one time there was 8 tracks in use. When the circus came to town the animals were brought by train to the shunting yard at Wallneuk before they were paraded to the Racecourse in Greenock Road.

I'd always read that it never got connected at the Arkleston junction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
