Paisley 1930s architectural talk
Paisley and District u3a
Conservation architect and historian, Fiona Sinclair will be highlighting several 1930s architectural gems on our doorsteps.
Attendees can learn more about the area’s rich architectural history on Thursday 3 April at 2pm in the Salvation Army Hall in Mill Street (PA1 1ND). People can enjoy a chat and refreshments from 1.30pm.
Fiona Sinclair remarked: “A surprising amount of construction took place in Renfrewshire during the two world wars. Standout buildings included cinemas, department stores, factories and health facilities.
“These were designed mostly by local architects who had a keen eye for European precedents. They saw no reason why Paisley and its satellite towns should be left behind in the move to modernism.
"I will illustrate the wealth of buildings in Renfrewshire from this particular period of time, and highlight the achievements of some remarkable architects.”
