Old Photograph High Street Paisley Scotland


Old photograph of the High Street, Paisley, Scotland. In 1819 riots took place on the High Street by a population committed to parliamentary reform, which in many ways was the start of two decades of agitation for political reform in the town, but which also echoed and reflected Scotland and UK wide struggle for greater democracy.
