Linwood Manse
« on: Tuesday 09 November 04 18:46 UTC (UK) »
Could anyone tell me if Linwood Manse is still standing and if it is the same as it was in 1908?   Anyone know where I can get a picture?
Thanks

Linwood manse still stands on the old Linwood Road near the old cart bridge. This area used to be called Linclive and was at the corner of what we called Inkerman Road. Weddings were held there at least up to the 1950's.
It was built late 1800's

Hi
Thank you for letting me know that the manse is still standing.
My grandparents lived in Inkerman befor going to Canada in 1910/11.
Is the manse still used? Maybe I could write and perhaps get hold of a picture.
Thanks

linwood Manse is now a private dwelling house. Write to the occupier,linwood manse,old linwood road, linwood,renfrewshire. I feel sure they will be able to provide a photo and info. I was born in linwood during WW2 and the inkerman rows were only ruins.At the time of your relatives early 1900's there were six pits and a brickwork adjacent to inkerman. There is now no trace. The school house is all thats left. A private dwelling as well. oh and a bowling green . Hope this may be of interest and assistance. regards james.
further :-the manse is a good sized detached grey sandstone house in its own grounds,the old church at linwood was a fine building as well and usually only church members or dignitaries were married there. It was normal for the minister to carry out other weddings in the vestry or manse. I dont think there was a church at inkerman although there was an catholic chapel. I think there were four rows . Linwood Heritage Society might have some further info. get the website. there is a book a photographic record of linwood includes inkerman,the author is called I think james winters,his family may have came from inkerman originally I am not sure. He is in the society.
