Paisley Heritage
Приєднався 8 жов 2013
Welcome to Paisley Heritage! Established in 2012, we are dedicated to promoting and preserving the rich history and culture of Paisley. Originally launched as 'Paisley Mysteries,' our community has grown to over 36,000 members, affectionately known as 'Buddies.' We share photographs, videos, stories, and legends to bring the town's forgotten history to life.
Our discoveries include the concealed Terrace Tavern and the enigmatic Paisley Alien Gargoyle. Our drone captures the essence of historic sites like Paisley Abbey and the Coats building.
With over 400 videos and 4 million views, Paisley Heritage is more than a repository; it’s a narrative that weaves the legacy of our town. We host events at local attractions and our UWS venue, featuring speakers managed by our event manager, Rachael Smith. Our online store, paisleyshop.co.uk, offers prints, cups, T-shirts, books, and jewellery. Revenue supports our events and care home visits.
