Paisley Town

[HollowHorn]

Canal Street Church, now Castlehead Church was built by Paisley weavers in 1791 . Among those buried in its churchyard were the poet Robert Tannahill and the maternal great-grandparents of U.S. President Ronald Reagan. The President visited the site during a brief trip to Scotland in 1991 .

Took this in Paisley a number of weeks ago, Can't remember the exact location, it was off Oakshaw Street I think.

By the way, the Erection refers to the building on the wall of which this plaque is affixed. Just in case you were wondering....

I guess the Hammermen Society was quite the thing in 18th Century Paisley - interesting contrast between the versions of their logo on HH's last photo and that one.

Old street sign , originally under glass at Townhead Terrace , Paisley. The corresponding one accross the way still has it's glass but is illegible:



Mrs VT spotted this this old sign just down the same street:



Something illegible
Something CUTTING
DRESSMAKING
SCHOOL
TWO STAIRS UP

I did search HG and found nothing , so appologies if this is the first thing old buddies take snaps of

Would the first word be couture? i don't think Paisley could make a claim for Haute Couture

The next line Dress Cutting

[Vinegar Tom]

The next line must be dress cutting. Thanks Dexter.

Dunure before Couture though??

[Lucky Poet]

Dodmure? Or Dobmure? Looks like 4 letters before the ....ure to me. (Well spotted by the missus.)

[Dave]

It's probably been posted but hey-ho

[Vinegar Tom]

Couture?

I really should have taken notes at the time , but the best I can do is a severeley tweaked photo.

Could be Couture



But what is on the panel below?

It might be Rodmure, since there was a Rodmure school of dressmaking in Glasgow (my mum trained there), and there were other branches (according to Ms Google).

I'd say that's it, looking at the second photo wi that in mind. I love it when a plan comes together
