Fully restored
and furnished 18th century weavers cottages with photographs, artifacts
of local interest and a tearoom. Also featuring a row of mill workers
houses from the 1840’s. Out with opening hours visits are by prior arrangement.
the cottage
on the left is a typical weaver's cottage and is one of the only two remaining
in Paisley. It was originally built in the 1740's and its layout exactly
matches written descriptions of such cottages as found in histories of
the town. Slight alterations were made during the 1800's in order to increase
the size of the back room, thus providing more living space for the weaver
and his family.
The cottage
has three rooms, two of which were living quarters, the third being a
loom shop where the weaver and his family worked.
