Scope and Content Carriage Drive and Gardens, Kilnside House, Seedhill Road, Paisley, Renfrewshire (now demolished) Kilnside House, a large mansion standing within extensive grounds to the south-east of Paisley, was built c.1836 by Joseph Whitehead, and altered and extended in the 1880s by its then owner, Stewart Clark. The photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere, was commissioned to photograph the gardens in 1890. The gardens, consisting mainly of parkland, covered several acres. The carriage drive, leading to the main entrance, is lined with trees and lit by a cast iron lamp standard (centre), adapted for use with gas. Stewart Clark was a partner in Clark & Company, the Paisley threadmakers whose mill at Seedhill was one of the biggest employers in the town. The family opened their first factory in Paisley in 1812 after Patrick Clark created a new method of twisting cotton yarns together to produce a thread as strong as silk.
