THE TOWN HALL, PAISLEY.
In population, Paisley ranks sixth in Scotland. It once possessed large manufactures in silk gauzes and thread, and the Paisley shawls were celebrated; but changes in fashion dethroned these, and its principal industry now is cotton thread. Of this product it possesses the two largest mills in Great Britain, the Anchor Thread" Mills of Messrs. Clark & Co., and the Ferguslie Mills of the Coats Company. The Abbey is interesting, the nave being still used as the parish church. On the opposite side of its close stands the noble pile here shown, built in 1880 at a cost of £80,000, the whole being borne by Mr. G. A. Clark, of Newark, U.S.A., and his relatives, owners of the Anchor Thread Mills. The large hall seats 2,000, and can hold many more; and there are also smaller halls and a reading room.
