Scope and Content View from the Entrance Porch, 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, covering several acres, consisted mainly of parkland with a tennis court (right) within easy reach of the main entrance. The entrance steps are flanked by cast iron lamp standards adapted for use with gas. Stewart Clark was a partner in Clark & Company, the Paisley threadmakers whose 'anchor' symbol was recognised throughout the world. Their cotton thread mill at Seedhill provided steady employment for many of the town's workers including thousands of 'mill lassies'. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
