Nice houses with big gardens.What a waste.

I live in Paisley. He's not in Glasgow. He's in Paisley. Different councils. The place where he is walking about is called Drums Avenue, Ferguslie Park Avenue, Tannahill Road & Tannahill Terrace. The people who lived there were moved into new accommodation. The street he walks into with the newer houses is the new housing estate they moved into & it's filled with families. The old housing is being demolished because they aren't legal to live in. There filled with asbestos & mold. The area is being redeveloped into a regional sports centre & housing.
@@jackkelly6282Very interesting. Thanks for the info.
@@jackkelly6282he says he was in Paisley fella.🤔
@@Orangutan_Stella said it in a way that implies that Paisley is part of Glasgows authority. It's under Renfrewshire councils authority. Paisley is 10 mins on the train from Glasgow.
I am from near the area. These streets are like this as the council is currently in the midst of knocking all of these homes down to build new homes beside the football stadium. Paisley is going through a bit of a much needed renovation at the minute. In particular, ferguislie, where this video was filmed, will have a new sports centre, parks, allotments and homes built. It is part of a huge regeneration project. The streets did not look like this even one year ago.
You mention the bus stop; busses still go through this area. St. Mirren football stadium and a train station are nearby. The bus route goes from Linwood to Asda/Phoenix Retail Park and through Paisley town centre.
Also, Paisley is much, much larger than this.
Doing Paisley up is like putting make up on a pig.
Thank you mate....now I don't need to type 😂.....youve explained it exactly as I was about to 😂.....I work with the council. I patrol all of renfrewshire. Paisley needs a lot of T.L.C but so does renfrewshire as a whole. What has happened to Paisley is tragic. Some beautiful architecture and buildings.
@@alexmore8527 I don't think that's fair. Paisley has tons of old architecture, close to the Glennifer Braes Country Park, an excellent museum/library and observatory that I look forward to seeing reopen. It needs a bit of work aye but that's because Braehead opened and took all the business. Some more local, unique businesses and a bit of reinvestment and I believe it will do well, esp given that there are a lot of students living in Paisley with plenty of pubs and clubs to visit.
@@stu56789 Demolition can be expensive for Councils. Lengthy tendering processes also hold up matters. Council's take a lot of stick from people but they're not made of money as some people seem to think.
seems a waste alot of these houses could be renovated.
Paisley isn't Glasgow, it's a separate town with its own postcode.
Realised that after 😑🤣

I land there in 5 weeks😂

Hopefully with less sex tourism though

"So what if he's a literal grapist and engages in sex tourism?! I Like his CZcams videos so he's cool!"
@@realmyka Yeah mate, same with Jimmy Saville, he was a good TV host, that's all I need to know.
The new build estate looks even worse than the abandoned one! Nice large stone built housing with big gardens replaced with plastic, legoland bungalows and car parks.
Aye true, they do look like they've been made from lego!
There was in fact something of a kick back from the community when this street was earmarked for demolition and a sports village facility proposed in it's place. Good sized flats with big attics and basements, of late 1930's era construction. I live in a similar style property across town, love it. Unfortunately in this case it's a case of Council 1-0 Residents.
This channels so simple but enjoyable to watch
Good solid houses, large gardens, some people do not realise what potential they have.
They probably were decent houses at one time, though with Feegie being somewhat isolated from the rest of Paisley, it became a convenient place for the council to dump problem families from other schemes. Barrowfield, Blackhill, Darnley, South Nitshill etc. were a few other examples of this practice of problem families being concentrated in one place.
All full of asbestos
@@l3awjawz Good, keep them all together.
Cheers for another great video mate looking forward too the next one already 🎉🎉
Cheers pal 👍
More great content pal, keep up the good work and you'll have 50k subs in no time. Looking forward to the next one👍🏽
Some of them houses look like they have been nice back in the day
Yeh they look like they were!
They were, I worked all over Glasgow and North Lanarkshire from 1998 to 2005 - the biggest crime is - Lack of investment.
H@@G4RY1159Been houces going up.in Glasgow for years difference is the land gets sold of public spaces and the counsil rake in millions the corrupt bastards
yeah but lets face it about half the houses in that area had drug dealers in them at 1 point. So aint suprising thats how they look now @G4RY1159
Kicking off.. love your your terminology , you are so captivating, see you on the next one.
🤣🤣 cheers pal
I’d imagine the piles of bricks blocking access on some of the roads would be to stop travellers setting up on the estate

Too bad the locals in estates like this and many others are often territorial hostile towards outsiders who move in to 'their bit'.
I thought that looks like a area set for demolition rather then a rough left area
Rubbish, Paisley is 💩, spent most of my life living there, never looked back when i left, folk are the dregs.
Ill b landing there in the summer from Canada❤
@@l3awjawzunfortunately it's the kinda area where if your not known and on your own it isn't safe to walk about by yourself 😕
weird observation - some of the hedges were neatly trimmed outside some of the boarded up buildings - interesting
It's the zombie gardeners they only trim at night )
@@B_stumust be rangers of Glasgow supporters. HHGH
in the west of scotland they often demolish areas and build new houses on the land. nothing changes tho the same people move into the new houses and it carry's on again
Absolutely, slums don’t just appear, people make them! They did the top half of Fergislie in the early 2000’s and they just filled the new builds full of the same feral trash as the old scheme, and many of the houses are in an absolute state, gardens full of rubbish and scrap cars etc.
@@GG-im1cbgovernments do by inflicting poverty on people.
@@ozjob I grew up in one of the most deprived areas of Glasgow, and possibly Western Europe at the time , the housing was poor quality, (significantly more so than anything you’ll find in this video, or in Scotland today) however we had a community. My parents were both hard working and conscientious, as was the overwhelming majority of others in the scheme at the time. Our house was spotless, our garden was well tended, and we looked after our property out of respect for not only ourselves but also our neighbours, we also looked after the genuinely vulnerable…….as it should be!
As such I need absolutely no lesson on poverty or deprivation, I’ve lived amongst it for the majority of my life. Yes socioeconomics clearly impact on poverty, as can the politics of the day, (again I’ve lived this), and of course we should protect the genuinely vulnerable who find themselves in times of trouble. But there are many (yes many!) for whom it’s a conscious decision not to work, not to contribute to society, to steal, to cheat, to abuse, to vandalise, to destroy, to inflict suffering on others, to be utterly reckless and selfish, and to accept responsibility for absolutely nothing, whist at the same time obfuscating this as being societies fault.
@@ozjobYup always the governments fault when people can't behave
@@DS76204 well if you deliberately create poverty then yes. 👍. Invest in those areas crime goes down. That’s fact
Forgotten Britain at its finest
Areas the MP's ignore
Not really, people have been moved to newer housing and these will be demolished and redeveloped in time.
@@cesco84 Those areas still exist, I worked in them for years
@@G4RY1159 the video lacks any context. It’s giving the impression this is what paisley is like , when in reality it’s a tiny derelict area. housing in paisley has been improved 10 fold since the 90s. A lot of these types of houses have just ran their course and are too costly to maintain, that’s why they’re getting knocked down and new build houses going up in their place. Glasgow and paisleys housing stock might not be perfect but it’s a damn site better than it was when I was growing up, when places would look like that and still have families dotted around living in some of the properties.
@@cesco84 Oh agree!
When did Paisley move to Glasgow ? Lol, first ive seen your channel , enjoyed watching 👍
another great video,nothing wrong with the area, it's the people to blame for the litter and destruction, can't wait for your next video to see what's kicking off, keep safe.
Good Channel 🤠
I think that's Ferguslie Park. Made famous by the play "The Slab Boys" by John Byrne who passed away a few months back.
Shame on the council, big well built houses with gardens going to waste, built better than the crap they build today.
That would make a good film set
This recent history of these houses are really important. What they were used for, why they were shut down, etc. Very interested. Thanks for the upload.
2:55 answer is that the area in this video is prepared for demolition to make way for a sports centre. It had a bad reputation, so its part of a regeneration project to curb that
pin this g
Like most impoverished places in the UK, Paisley suffered after the Industrial Revolution ended and production was sent abroad. It was famed for producing fabric (the pattern looks like repeated 'comma' shapes) and when the mills closed the town died.
When I were a lad in the 60s, colourful Paisley scarves and cravats were often worn as fashion accessories,
@@geoffas Defo. Then the textile industry was sent to India cause it was cheaper so the people of Paisley were sacrificed. Sad and brutal reality of industry
Wow! That place is utterly insane. What a mess. Ide live there though, its gotta be nice and quiet 😄
Seems a real hot spot for CZcamsrs, shame some MP's can't walk the same streets and see the REAL mess in some deprived areas, such areas and many others are just ignored.

Ahh, well that explains it, thanks.
is that it? or is it because capitalism provokes wars (Syria) and and creates poverty which then compels people to leave for elsewhere?
there doesn't appear to be many immigrants here so perhaps it's just that you are a Nazi racist bigot.
You may not know this but the UK is not in the EU.
Paisley, part of Renfrewshire is just outside of Glasgow which is part of Lanarkshire.. This was a decent area back in the day..
Absolutely Shocking and to think we are In a Housing Crisis . Homeless Stats In Scotland alone are at the Highest for Decades .
Get yourself to Possilpark and Milton in the north of the city if you want a rough areas mate. Possibly more chilled these days as i moved away in the early 90s but back in the day they were rough schemes.
All the worst streets in those 2 areas are long gone , there isn't really any hard areas left in Glasgow tbh
Belive it or not that was the most desirable area of Ferguslie park when I was a boy ...The gardens were kept to a high standard and you were considered a toff if you lived there ....Changed days indeed ...
As recently as the 70s. I remember it well.
Paisley in in Renfrewshire, just outside Glasgow.
Yeh i found that out after 🤣
Paisley is surely developing surely but slowly. Alot of new builds are in the town of paisley. Hopefully this gets sorted shame to see the houses go to waste!
When you going to possilpark i heard it was pretty nasty pal thanks for the video cheers
It's an area of Ferguslie Park that's been earmarked for demolition and redevelopment as a sports village connected to the adjacent St Mirren FC stadium for years. One or two residents still there but mostly empty. It is in fact all getting demolished very soon. It's not just a rough looking street.
They are usually close to being demolished, many homes within certain schemes around the Glasgow area would have boarded up windows when they were close to being taken down in order to build new modern homes. I remember for certain areas they believed that nicer flats/homes would stop them being petrol bombed and reduce crimes in general etc.
You can tell its been nice round there with all those established hedges and nice big gardens, were they pre fabs?
It 100% was a nice area. Ferguslie had it's rough and downright shit areas in the 90s. The space that St. Mirren now occupy had a dreadful reputation but these houses in Tannahill ( which was only about 200 yards away) had a reputation as a place that once you were in one of the houses in Tannahill, you were in there for life as there was no need to move anywhere else.
It's like a post apocalypse
Surprising for me is the back garden grass is short and the hedges look like they are trimmed on a regular basis. Why not knock all down and put in pre-fabs as temporary accommodation.
I know, bizzare init!!
If they knock it down, I hope they keep the Trees and the Wildlife.
They've moved the wildlife into the new builds.
Bet a lot of people were gutted when they told them all they getting rehoused again, looks a good sized area and gardens apart from the aftermath of fly tipping
What a shame... Lots of green and fresh air with cheery folk.. I love the Scots ♥️
It’s a much larger area than those houses you walked around. Most of it has either been flattened or has grown into grassland or brownfield site.
The buses run through the area still. mcgills 7A.
The area was & still is none of the most deprived in the UK it’s called Ferguslie park.
There us a big Asda in the area about 1 mile from where you were in a retail park with b& m home bargains, Poundland , matalan , McDonald’s drive in, Taco Bell, kfc, Burger King, travelodge, cinemas pubs etc etc plus many other employers in large industrial estates. It’s also where they used to make Hillman imp, Hunter and avenger cars and sunbeam .
Area & paisley has lots of anti social and drug and alcohol problems like across uk. Other parts of the area are known for cheap rentals & house prices & handy for working in Glasgow.
Cheers pal, great info on the area that mate 👍
I done all the Voids for years, Fergie Pk along with Craigneuk in Wishaw were by far the worst, job could be testing when all the weans were off for summer holidays, I always remember some areas would often flood.
I still have a lot of photo's that we took of Voids that had been trashed, Westwood Gardens and Ferguslie Park Avenue etc etc etc
Used to get the airport bus from Gilmore Street to the airport , am sure that was MC Gills. It runs or ran through some pretty sketchy looking. areas I'm from Southern England and i always felt slightly uneasy on that , especially after dark.
Think my fears were probably unfounded though.
@@paullbennett2923 Yes I think your fears are unfounded & the real dangerous place are down south in England especially but not exclusively London. All you would bump into really in Paisley is feral zombie junkies who fit right into that abandoned zombie apocalypse housing estate
@@paullbennett2923 Sounds like it was probably Shortroods you went through while not as well known as Ferguslie, is pretty dodgy in it's own right. Same with nearby Gallowhill.
6:32 that looks like the house fae still game where aww the milk never got collected haha
As I was watching this I put tannerhill road into maps. It's by st Mirrens ground ? 2014 and 2015 it looked OK. Crazy how fast yhe whole place has just gone
Clean and green
My dad is from Paisley. He always said Ferguslie was rough.
More specifically, this is Ferguslie Park in Paisley. In the 90’s it was truly like the Wild West with violence, gangs, alcohol, drugs and poverty but it seems to be a bit quieter these days from what I can see
Crazy scenes. It’s only until recently did I realise that there were actually places like this in the UK. I thought you’d only see scenes like this in places like Detroit Michigan!
If you took a trip round east and north Glasgow in the 80's and 90's you'd have seen a lot more places like this.
My Gran lived on one of those streets, spent a lot of time there as a kid. Sad to see what's happened to the area.
Isn't really reflective of the rest of Paisley though.
I can imagine it being good back in the day
3:47 fookin ell. Expected Norman Bates to be standing outside.
All the new builds crammed together with no privacy whatsoever
Those new builds will be ready for the bulldozer in less than 20 years. Thrown up on the cheap by tradesmen who have no love for their work.
I think I saw Rick on his horse with his 357 Colt Python.
Imagine a game of knock door run on that estate!
Pure madness
Someone needs to make a zombie apocalypse movie set here!
Try the new rangers board...
Used to be most respectable area in ferguslie park .Stayed there for 20 years.
Really?
This is one of the most depraved areas in Scotland these houses were left to rot where they could have housed many desperate families. I was brought up 3 miles from here and Scotland left those ppl with nothing. Crime in the late 80s and 90s was through the roof and unemployment was probably around 75% hence the state of the ares now. Its a shame to see and both Scottish and UK government couldn't give a toss about them.
You cannot always blame governments, sometimes the people are the problem. I guess you have never travelled, if you think this is bad.
I have lived abroad I have lived in Scotland England and Northern Ireland I have seen enough to realise that in this area of Scotland these people where thrown on the heap and not given a lifeline. Like you say sometimes well sometimes yes government and local authorities need to hold their hands up and say yes they never done enough to to the deprivation of a area. This part of the country gey a very bad reputation but what more do people do when they are left to basically get on with it without any help. Like I said above I stayed very close to this area and know many people from it yes there is people whom exploit deprivation for their gain but many others want better for them and their kids yet get classed the same as everyone else.
"Feels very post-apocalyptic."
I grew up in Scotland and I used to search for abandoned buildings and factories to take photos of. I uttered that phrase quite often on my travels.
Scotland is a great place for that kind of hobby, which admittedly; isn't actually a good thing.
Yeh true, Scotland has some ace places but as you say that doesn't mean it's good
Ferguslie park is a bad area tbf, some parts of Paisley aren't too bad. There's a huge sliding scale of money from large expensive houses and affluent streets to the absolute dreg of society, in Paisley. It's a strange place that way.
Please do more Liverpool!!’
On the cards pal 👍
4:12 "Where are all these zombies at?"

I used to live there. My parents live in the new houses close by.
Yep it’s not Glasgow mate…those were good solid houses with big gardens near to the airport too …I would like to know what happened there as well…🤔
Aye but the scheme was cut off from the rest of Paisley which made it convenient for the cooncil to dump unwanted tenants from other parts of Renfrewshire, Glasgow and possibly further afield, which is probably why Feegie was among the worst schemes in Scotland.
A once decent working class neighbourhood infiltrated by the feral underclass……….the end!
At night that place must be spooky as hell. looks like a horror movie set

It's old housing stock, it happens. The new houses you saw are where the people who lived in the derelict housing estate now live, the old housing estate is being demolished. Demolition of so many however, can be expensive for Council's to deal with. They also have to go through lengthy tendering processes with demolition companies.
They demolished huge estates like that in a lot of cities. Similar buildings, must be due to the poor state of the concrete?
Ferguslie Park aka Feegie, absolute shithole. Been deprived since the 60s. The houses were built around WWII time as model estates to show what could be done but by the 60s the area was deprived. Crags Avenue/Crescent/Road in Paisley have the same houses but in better condition & area.
They built some new houses in the 90s and about 20 years ago in Ferguslie but within a couple of years people, yet again, don't care. There's some decent streets but still a lot of crime & anti social stuff.
I was thinking the exact same. The same houses are in Whitehaugh as well and they are in really good condition and desirable, but that’s 100% down to the mentality of the people. I worked in Feegie for a few years in the late 90’s / early 2000’s and the part in the video wasn’t the worst then, however a lot of shite moved in as the other parts of the scheme were flattened.
There are generations in that scheme who have never worked a day in their lives and have an absolute feral mindset where they exist simply to be out of their tits 24/7, and will happily live in their own shite and destroy anything provided to them with no consequences to their actions. That said there were clearly still some decent folk there at the end as can be seen from a few of the houses and gardens.
Lived in pai(n)sly for three years-am never getting them back tbf there are some good people there tho -also loads of deprivation 😢
Shame init
Another fire lastnight the house at the beginning
It’s a housing scheme called Ferguslie Park in Paisley West of Glasgow, 1 of the most deprived areas in Scotland unfortunately, used to have a big industry with cotton mills but they closed resulting in hundreds of jobs going , the place was infamous in the late 90 ‘s for shootings, murders & drugs
Yeh watched a documentary on it. Interesting stuff
Bet council has something in mind for that estate gd solid surrounding maybe a butlins 😅
the sad thing about these type of houses is they are nice and spacious areas to live in yet will be demolished! then look at old terraced houses with no greenery just back yards and people live in them! mad or what?
You doing a good job mate, showing the real UK that according to Main Steam media does not exist, as all is great in the UK
Paisley's in Renfrewshire, Glasgow's in Lanarkshire.
They're not even in the same county (shire).
“Couple of beers, couple of fires” 😂
Maybe not, if they got nice new houses near by lol. Mad tho
Its a genuine shame to see those houses in dilapidated state, left to rot and set on fire.
You should get yourself over to Dundee some time. Now thats an eye-opener... Some brilliant pubs downtown too.
It was Begbie who ensured he could never return. He had done what he wanted to do. He could now never go back to Leith, to Edinburgh, even to Scotland, ever again. There, he could not be anything other than he was. Now, free from them all, for good, he could be what he wanted to be. He'd stand or fall alone. This thought both terrified and excited him as he contemplated life in Amsterdam.
*Sadly no pub today*
Weird because if it was cleaned up it would look good. Big houses, gardens, greens, well spread out.
But as it is thats one of the worst looking spot I've ever seen in Britain.
Not glasgow paisley is paisley and its old Ferguslie IE Feegy.Its eventually getting knocked down as there's new builds near it.I stay in hunterhill area other side of paisley.Should do a video of west end of paisley or should I say wild west 😂
BTW there is a scheme in Port Glasgow and there is only 4 people left.
They say there’s a housing shortage,I think it’s a shortage of decent,civilised people in areas like this and many others.
" 28 bairns later "
I wonder if they were condemned because of RAAC concrete.
They are in the process of demolishing this area. Ironically where St Mirren stadium is built, just round the corner from where you are, was really apache country and you would likely not have made it out alive. Feegie Park(as it was known) was renowned in west of Scotland, appears to be a much more calm place now.
Concludes the Scottish trip!? What about Edinburgh??
The Lowlands is a beautiful place to live but when the properties get bought by CPO it all stops
You should do a Burnley video, sure there’d be lots of good content and you’d get lots of views.

Will probably be turned into another massive unwanted retail park.
Turn it into a nature reserve.
Stuff nature . Build new houses . We have a housing shortage there’s plenty wilderness in Scotland for nature.

This is ferguslie park in paisley not Glasgow, it was an extremely rough area in the 90s drugs and gun crime very prevalent, panorama made a documentary about the area called "temazepam wars" its on CZcams worth a watch
Watched a documentary on it. Interesting stuff
@@honestplaces it was wild back then , the worst parts in the area were demolished years ago. I'm pretty sure for a year in the 90s during the middle of the drugs war paisley was murder capital of Europe, which is pretty remarkable considering it's only a medium sized town with a population of around 70 thousand
Paisley isn't Glasgow, mate. That's like saying Huddersfield is in Bradford. These are 2 totally separate places with different post codes.
Some of those are great houses. Up n down stairs, driveways and good back gardens, look like they would have been great houses back in the day. Shame to see them lying like that.
