What a waist of a building ive explored this inside out with my son and also my friend and his autistic son and i love coming here although its a haunting sad feeling at times ..but im still drawn to the sad horrible story of what it became of all of an oll wifes tale cirse

Refreshing to see photos of Paisley back in the day. I'm not from Paisley, but can just about recognise some landmarks. The photo of Stevenson St, 5:40, as it scrolls down- was that a wee farm or smallholding back in the day? All demolished now, I guess....

There was a lot less people back then but a lot more life……if you know what I mean.

Ah, memmories! Thynk you.

Amazin old world Paisley love it what a place !!! :) thankyou !!!

great watching this i can remember my grandad taking me to the palladium down the pen they called it the bug hut. i started work in 1966 at thomas reid in thread street going down cart walk in dark mornings thanks for showing these.

Sorry, can't wach this: I had already left. i don't want to weep!

any photos of old millarston

I remember that white shed in the river cart pictures, I used to go fishing there when I was a kid ( no permit of course lol)

Loved the video. Anymore on any other Paisley worthies? I read about them in the Silver Threads book I’m sure it was?

Had to watch this with the sound turned off. Too much.

Love your shop guys, came home about 6 months ago for a visit and spent a fair bit of time and $$ there :) Born in Paisley late 50s, Got my gear in there and my pipes from Wallace bagpipes near love street.

very good i was born in paisley 1951 and left in 1979 you dont see many pictures of the old jail and of the theatre i can remember them and as a little boy going to the theatre. i can remember i could park my motor bike outside woolworths in the high street. i used to sell the evening times outside the regal pictures on a friday after school and on a saturday at the west end bingo yes it was different then. do you remember we had two tramps then yes only two no homeless they were one called Bing and the other sammy barr the were no trouble and were happy . now you cant move for homeless people. look forward to some more thanks.

This narrator sounds like he is about to finish with Nuclear War warning ?

This is awesome!!! 💌

I had an aunt who lived in Barshaw so My sister and I spent many happy days exploring Paisley in the 1950s.

Excellent ❤❤

👍🙂💕

In my era, no pupil could forget the formidable Madge Pope, a Geography teacher and smoker of full-strength Players plain Navy-issued cigarettes!

My Uncle was always on about TaTa Bella. The family lived in Storie St (George St end)across from the Public Baths...

Fantastic story but white lettering on a whitish background makes it hard to read, black or red lettering would have made it easier and more interesting to read rather than squinting to make out the words, imo

Great foties Paul , thanks . Grew up in the Sneddon , the Manhattan o' Paisley .

So, THAT'S who Ta Ta Bella was! 😊

A lovely collection of Paisley and some of its inhabitants. I thought I knew Paisley well, I spent a lot of my life there as my aunt lived in Gartmore Road and later I was employed in the renovation of tge PCMS in the 1960s.

Best Now & Then video I’ve ever seen. Thank you.

Another world.

Amazing content. Loved the picture of children going tadpole fishing at Barrshaw Park.

‘Ta Ta Bella wi his face aw yella’

My mother in law used to talk of singing " Ta Ta Bella yer bums awe yella" 😂 That was a brilliant clip, really enjoyed it.

This is the content we are looking for. Absolutely wonderful stuff and would love to see more.

Fantastic 👍

Not one of these trolley cars are releasing exhaust fumes. They got rid of something that was better for the environment.

I also used to sqeeze through the green iron railings and look up the old staircase and wonder what it was like back in the day. Glad someone bought it and restored it.

Im guessing its on the side of the piazza where the cinema used to be. There is a void under the shopping center at the other side which runs along the bank of the river.

epic content! goodbye-😈

I just found out that this house has ties to my great grandfather, Robert Conn who immigrated to America in 1940, his mother was Janet Shaw.

Loved the interior shots...

my mothers town before they left for england

So much bad planning in Glasgow and Paisley in the 70’s. Rest of Europe kept their trams and we got rid of them. To think, after Edinburgh, Paisley has the most Grade A listed buildings in Scotland, what a shame!

Paisley was a smashing wee toon with a real buzz about it, it's a shame what's happened to it.
