What area?
There are quite a few Glasgow Roads outside Glasgow, not surprisingly all headed to Glasgow.
I used to live in Glasgow Road, Paisley. until about 15 years ago.

Try Google Maps. Most of the houses opposite 89 are from the 30s but I'm not sure of the bit at this point of the road. Looks to be tenements and possibly rebuilt as a supermarket or something - note the carpark.
I don't plan to be out that way soon but I'll try and remember to look.

Only lived in Glasgow Road from 1989 til 1992.
411 Glasgow Road to be precise.
Lived in Hillington before that and many other addresses.
Originally from Govanhill in Glasgow. Now in Langside Glasgow.

I know Paisley very well as from there. The whole road is victorian tenements until it reaches just east of the photo above where it becomes an area known as Ralston which is has posh houses.
The building that daval has said is a supermarket is indeed. It is built on the site of the old Paisley ice rink which closed in 1973. (but is on East Lane rtaher than Glasgow Road) Most of the houses on that side of the road are tenements with shops underneath.
I went to school on Glasgow Road - Paisley Grammar School. The odd numbers are on the opposite side of the road to where the supermarket is. I think no 89 is just beyond that point .

Hi Mandy
Fraid not. They are a bit older than me. I wasn't born til 1959.
What might be worth a try is Friends re-united to see if anyone on there who might remember them. They could possibly have gone to Willamsburgh primary school living out that way. The other possibility is the North School which isn't there any more - building is but not a school which is right at start of Glasgow road going towards Paisley centre. Not sure when the North school closed but my mum who was born in 1939 remembers it being open when she was small.
I can't remember the name of the catholic school that kids out that side of Paisley went to. I have St James in my head but not sure.
Cheers

Hi all to everyone thats posted on this thread especially to those who are interested in the North School.
Today's issue (16/08/07) of the Paisley Daily Express shows a class photo from the North School circa 1946. The article was written by Derek Parker who is a well known local hack and is very approachable if you want any more info on it.
