Please can anyone recommend a good book (with pictures) about old Paisley? My family were baker's in Sir Michael Street and I wonder whether any pictures exist of either the shop or the Swan family? Every Blessing, Christine

Hi Christine, We have corresponded before, re Swan's Bakery in Paisley. re Picture found in one of my books. I am looking for SWEENIE's and wondered if there had been a spelling change. But my lot are of dates don't tied in with the last info yiu put on list. Names almost do. Without reading thru these , it must be one of two I have on Paisley. LET PAISLEY FLOURISH Published by Renfrew District Council ISBN 0 86122 008 0 Printed by J Thomson Coulour Printers Ltd or PICTORIAL HISTORY OF PAISLEY Complied by David Rowland Alloway Publishing ISBN 0 907526 55 1 Bought in Paisley 1998 Wonderful books full of Photos Irene in New Zealand PS: I now have a scanner..

I have a copy of 'Paisley - A History' by Sylvia Clark. Published on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the Burgh Charter of Paisley in 1988. No mention of Swan, Sir Michael Street or Bakeries in the index I'm afraid. Best wishes Janet Connochie Christchurch, NZ
