Anchor Mill, Paisley, Scotland
This morning I took the opportunity to visit the town of Paisley near Glasgow.
Paisley has a long and proud history, possibly dating back to the Roman era. The town was at the forefront of the industrial revolution with a special emphasis on textiles -te famous Paisley Pattern and thread making, with latter employing tens of thousands at its 19th C peak. The textile industry generated huge wealth which filtered down into the construction of (a) a stunning Baptist ‘Cathedral’ and (b) a magnificent Town Hall. Here is a video clip of the Abbey and Town Hall.
