Bobcat Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I have been working on a wee project of photographing old or unusual buildings in Paisley as Paisley has some absolutely great architecture. I am also photographing places of local interest. I thought I would post one of the images every few days. These images will initially have no information. However, to test your local knowledge, I would be grateful if someone else could identify and provide the name and location of the building; mention anything about its history or any memories you may have with the building or place. For the FFF's it may bring a tear (or remind you why you left). For everyone else it may bring you a smile, some good memories or improve your local history. Some images will be very easy and beyond identification and other images may be more taxing. The first image (in this long series) should not be too hard for most of you to identify - PICTURE 1 I have been working on a wee project of photographing old or unusual buildings in Paisley as Paisley has some absolutely great architecture.

Bobcat Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 The JNI Scout Hall was in Arthur St directly across from the modele , I think the modele is the taller building to the right of the shot, it had bars in the windows , quite scary looking. The Scout Hall must just be out of pic to the right ?

Sonny Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 PICTURE 129 is the Scottish Episcopal Curch of The Holy Trinity & St Barnabas. Now on the one-way system at the start of Love St. Built 1833. Appears to be unlisted. Originally the Holy Trinity with the Episcopal Church in Queen St (St Barnabas) merging with the Holy Trinity in 2004. Further info here.... http://www.paisley.org.uk/paisley-history/church-holy-trinity-st-barnabas/ I am sure I am not alone in walking past that church for more years than I care to remember every second Saturday and not even knowing its name.

bluto Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Certainly I saw a lovely tenement in that Street, last time I was up. I'm in the vicinity the day, so I will recheck. Sorry for delayed input. ps Great weather for the Paisley 10k - runners just currently trundling down Camphill and across Canal Street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 PICTURE 131 attached. No clue this time as I think it is quite a tricky one. I walked past it for many years and only recently really 'discovered' it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Renfrewshire Open Days are on Sat 14th and Sun 15th September 2013. Well worth taking part as I'm sure Sonny and co will agree. This is one of the finest threads ever in General Nonsense. Apologies if these news items have already been posted. Cheers for the info Slash. I knew it was Sept but I have been so busy recently I forgot to look up the dates. I visited quite a few places last year with the Anchor Mills being the highspot for me. Well worth checking out some great buildings when you can. Place of Paisley is also worth a visit being one of the oldest buildings in our fine town. And thanks for the praise of the thread. The contributions from everyone have made it an interesting journey. Edit to add: Here is the link to what is available to view in Paisley with a few new additions this year. Note that our Club has now joined in so get a visit around the stadium for free (this is for you Shull). http://www.doorsopendays.org.uk/opendays/area_programmes.aspx?Page=2&areaid=32&resPP=10 Edited August 29, 2013 by Sonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted September 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 PICTURE 131 shows the side of the builing in Silk St at the corner of Gauze street. Officially designated as 29-31 Gauze Street in the Listed Buildings Register. B Listed. Built 1783. Don't know much else about it. I walked past it many a time and never realised it was so old.
