Old Photograph Causeyside Street Paisley Scotland

Old photograph of Causeyside Street, Paisley, Scotland. In the mid 19th century, the street was devastated by one of the most destructive fires witnessed outside of Glasgow. It began in a cottage at the foot of St Mirren Brae, and spread all the way up Causeyside Street, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake. It had started when a thatched roof caught fire, and within a matter of minutes, several roofs of similar thatch caught ablaze.
