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.
