Makes me so sad and angry at what successive local councils (Labour and SNP) have destroyed much of Paisley's architecture, economy and REAL vibrancy that it used to have...
Best Now & Then video I’ve ever seen. Thank you.

I had an aunt who lived in Barshaw so My sister and I spent many happy days exploring Paisley in the 1950s.
Very well done. Thank you.
Thank you for posting this way, old, new and old again, its just like having 2 separate photos beside you.
Paisley was a smashing wee toon with a real buzz about it, it's a shame what's happened to it.

There was a lot less people back then but a lot more life……if you know what I mean.
I wish. It was still the past because paisley is now a complete dirty and horrible place to stay. No shops etc just a dirty town
