So sad to see my beloved home town in the state it is now this video reminds of how it used to be full of shops and happy people now its just full of drug users and drug dealers and is just a ghost town.

My Father was a Policeman in the old building..before they moved to Mill Street. I can remember well getting the 'Heebie Jeebies' walking into Gilmour Street as was so austere.

Yes, the county buildings, burgh buildings, police office and prison were grouped together and demolished to make way for the Piazza. Google 'paisley prison' for a couple of pictures.

I remember a fort or castle not far from the cross. it had a draw bridge, and the police
used it, until they moved into the old Camphill school premises. AM I correct in saying this, as i am think it was demolised along with the paisley theatre so that a
indoor shopping centre could be built, over the river cart.

Make a choice, old age or death.

Thanks for the comment
The basic reason is that the council collects a rates bonanza from Braehead shopping centre.

I recently passed through on my way to the airport after having visited family near by and i was deeply saddened and very angry with what i saw, pedestrianization was an act of unspeakable stupidity that has left many parts to rot and fester and essentially killed of a buzzing wee town and brought a great deal of shame and embarrassment, just who are the bright sparks in the local council that allowed this current disgrace, someone must be held to account.
