Sonny 9,191 Report post Posted May 18, 2013 Image 126 was originally the Paisley Grammar School Penilee Sports Pavillion. Penilee Road. A Listed. Art Deco. Constructed in 1937. Architect H Cook. Now the Ralston Community Sports Centre. I just love this building but had been totally unaware of it until recently. Not been inside but from the outside its like going back in time. Beautiful building. (And yes, it is in Paisley!). 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluto 6,262 Report post Posted May 18, 2013 I did the hurdles for Camphill at a County schools meeting, there. Fourth. Of four. I'd never seen a hurdle until that night. Just had to complete the 100 yards for the school to get 1 point. Ellen McCubbin won shedloads more points than me. She was sporting and nice. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Were the rest of us injured? First time I saw hurdles was at a BB event and I thought I'd try a sneaky warm up. But I jumped over the hurdle the wrong way ie the supporting feet thingies were pointing towards me. I hit the bloody thing and went down like a ton of bricks. The hurdle didn't move an inch. I've always been a stupid bugger. Ellen McCubbin was a dynamo. Just a wee lassie but greased lightening and she was lovely. Wonder what became of her? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonny 9,191 Report post Posted May 19, 2013 I was entered at the last minute for a hurdles event for Camphill at some inter-schools thing at Seedhill. I had never even seen a hurdle before and received 2 mins training. Think I was last . 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

insaintee 4,932 Report post Posted May 25, 2013 This is reminiscent of the Italianate style of the Town hall and bridge. But it looks fairly domestic. The architect W H Lynn was one of the big boys and I don't think he did anything else in Paisley, (no doubt Sonny will put me right here), I'm going to stick with the town hall and this the south side door? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry Insaintee The Town Hall was Picture 100 ..... Hmmm so is it the Back of Sma shot cottage ....and Sma Shot was PICTURE 67. I am only featuring individual buildings once.

insaintee 4,932 Report post Posted June 20, 2013 Right oh So looks like a blond sandstone building domestic scale, built late 1800's to early 1900's, Art Nouveau / Scottish barronial touches, probably not Abercrombie but could be Mclennon Think I need to lodge an appeal if not I'll get my coats 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
