Things all quiet in paisley although plans for demolishing the " Hole in the Wa " pub in the back sneddon street area have been put forward with future use proposed as a car park.

In Linwood demolishing work has taken place at the small multistory houses at the end of Kashmir Avenue at the roundabout before Clippens Road, Also in Linwood heres a few snaps from the Mount Royale Hotel which was last used as a Homeless persons unit and is due to be demolished.

I can't believe the Hole in the Wa pub is still standing was ready for demolishing in the 70's.I remember Rod Stewart stopped there to have a drink on way to airport one night and I got a phone call to tell me from a friend who was playing darts. I was in a taxi beofre you could blink and I picked up 2 friend on the way he was still there when we arrived but it was my first and last time in the pub and when my Dad found out I had been in it he was not pleased but I thought it was great even made it to the PDE to say Rod had stopped of on the way and surprised everyone.

Can you remember when it was in the PDE ?

I knew you were going to ask me that. I think it was around 76-77 but I am guesssing it was anytime between 74-78 I remember where I was working and that was when I was working there. It was a few lines inside the PDE saying Rod was in town. Alice
