Modern development has meant that many of Paisley’s historical old buildings and houses have been knocked down to make way for shopping-centres, business units, housing or road widening.

Paisley 100 years ago looked very different to what it looks like at the present time.

Fortunately, photos and postcards recording the scenes of yesteryear have survived and below is just a small selection of postcards from Paisley Online’s own collection.
