These hard-working women feature in the trail alongside the likes of David Tennant, John Byrne and Paolo Nutini.
The women behind the success of Paisley ’s world famous mills have been celebrated alongside other global stars from the town in the Buddie Walk of Fame.
The women spent the afternoon reminiscing on their roles in the mills, from various types of winding, spinning, embroidery and research. The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning Express, will focus on breaking news, day and night, across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages.
The group were joined by Mary McKeown, chair of Paisley Thread Mill Museum, and Norma O’Hagan, one of the volunteers at the museum, who enjoyed chatting to the women. “The women had pictures of their fathers and grandfathers who also worked in the mills and they had so many stories about the people who worked there.
“The lasting legacy of the thread industry in Paisley is famous the world over,” said Elaine. “Yet none of this would have been possible without Paisley’s Mill Girls who produced most of the thread used around the globe.
