- General DiscussionHello. By way of intro, I was born in Paisley -in fact the Thornhill maternity hospital in Johnstone - in July 1959, so I’m knocking on a bit and grey of beard now. I lived in Paisley, in the Hunterhill area, until I was about 21 or 22, and moved to live in Birmingham for a job after I graduated fron the University of Glasgow in about 1981. I’ve lived in Brum ever since, having married a Brummie lass, but I still have great affectionfor my home town and love to go back there when I can to see how much things have changed in 40 odd years . The answer is a great deal ! I think Paisley as a town is criminally under-appreciated, especially, it sometimes seems, by those who live there, and its fantastic architecture and history is such an asset for the town. Best wishes for the shop !
