- Summary
- BFI synopsis: An item looking at the town of Paisley. It opens with the workforce leaving Babcock & Wilcox Renfrew works, and shows the works’ bus driving to and through Paisley streets. There are various shots of places and things of interest around Paisley, including: the exterior and interior of Paisley Abbey, old engravings of Paisley, the statue of the poet Robert Tannahill, and Castle Street where he was born, Paisley shawls, the J. & P. Coats thread mills, the Town Hall, Memorial Church Observatory, a museum, and Paisley Technical College, undergoing extension. The Babcock & Wilcox training department is seen, with apprentices undergoing practical instruction at machines. Back in the streets, there are shots of old Paisley tenements, with a demolition site nearby, and children playing near new flats in Coral Street. From a hill views across to Glenburn and Foxbar, and the new schemes there are seen, and Paisley town centre and High Street are also shown.
