insaintee Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 PICTURE 64 was correctly identified by Insaintee as the Stock St Public Baths. Designed (again) by the great TG it was built in 1898 and the only Baths Building left in Paisley. More recently most of you may know it as Monty's Snooker Hall. Its time as a Baths appears to have been brief. It was built as an extension to the Gleniffer Laundry and by 1913 it had become a foundry. In the 1940s it was used by a building contractor.

insaintee Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 The pub in King St was the Hayweighs.The Crown is at the junction of Broomlands St/West St. I remember when it closed my dad was looking for new offices and went to look at it. The pub was pretty cool but a quick shifty up the close showed that who ever bought it was going ot have big repair bills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSS Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 HSS is the closest so far. Oh no he's not. It's not where I thought it was.Seems the balcony feature is quite common in Paisley. Ah well,back to the drawing board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 PICTURE 65 is The Hayweighs building. Built as a public house with flats above it. Grade B Listed. 1900 Free Renaissance style. Architect was James Donald. This is a good example of many tenements in Paisley that are B Listed and of fine construction and detail that are constantly overlooked or taken for granted. I have never been in the Hayweighs and now wish I had seen the inside of it. If it re-opens I would be one of the first in the queue (and its possibly the closest pub to Greenhill Rd?) The CLUE for PICTURE 66 is an easy one for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintnextlifetime Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Okay , I might be wrong but I quite certain , that picture 64 is a building in Charleston . I'm sure it sits on the corner of Stock Strasse and Neilston Road . .aye? No ? I had the right street but not quite the right building. .

Sonny Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) On an election day maybe its appropriate that PICTURE 66 is the Paisley Conservative Club in New St., or at least it was. B Listed. Built as a house in 1800 and became the Conservative Club in 1883. Alterations in 1920 by the great TG. Like some others I loved these windows as a kid and wondered how you could get curved windows and what a job that would be for the glazier and joiner in fitting them. (Strange thoughts for a kid ). Dont know when it stopped being the Conservative Club but could imagine it as full of leather seats, cigars and whisky. Paisley Uni used at least a part of it at one point. Dont know much about its current use. PICTURE 67 CLUE is the second image. Edited May 3, 2012 by Sonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
