Paisley (9 Abstract)


For the full story of the Thomas Dudgeon in Paisley click the following link:

Paisley or the Paisley pattern, is the English term originating from Paisley, in Renfrewshire, Scotland,  for a textile design using the boteh or buta, a droplet-shaped vegetable motif, which originates from Persia.

 In 1864, we find Thomas Dudgeon working in Paisley, in Central Scotland, at the Exchange Rooms, which was used as the People's Concert hall, in Moss Street, Paisley, and has continued to be used as a theatre for many years to eventually  become known as the Theatre Royal.
