More about this scene
Although spinning and weaving were Paisley's main industries, there were also several shipyards along the banks of the River Cart. The longest lived was Fleming & Ferguson. There was also the Thistle shipyard, which closed in the 1930s but was reopened during the Second World War for the construction of landing craft. Note the different styles of street lights in this view. There are at least three on the right-hand side, and on the left the remains of gaslights are very much in evidence.
