Back to our Roots 3 - Paisley

[cessna152towser]

I have posted this picture of Paisley Abbey before but no thread about old Paisley would be complete without a picture of its oldest building.

Thomas Coats Memorial church

This baronial style building next to Thomas Coats Memorial church was once the army headquarters for the town but is now empty and for sale.

The Town Hall dates from the late 19th century.

In my youth, Paisley had eight cinemas, all now closed. The facade of the old Picture House survives, but behind it now is a new shopping mall.
More to come shortly.

Great photos Alex!

Thanks for the tour - everyone has heard of the toon but probably few have been there.

Some great architecture and Houston's looks worthy of a closer look - have seen some of their video presentations.
