Britain from above – Paisley

Britain from Above presents the unique Aerofilms collection of aerial photographs from 1919-1953. Register to zoom into these amazing pictures, identify mystery images, and share memories.

There is a page which features lots of amazing photos of Paisley from the air, housing schemes like Foxbar, Ferguslie and Gallowhill are not even built yet and the mill industry is in full flow. They are a fantastic snapshot of life in the early part of last century.

Paisley Abbey still has the ramshackle houses to the right of it and it shows the amount of land the mills covered to the East and West of the town.
