BY the time French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte set up the 1806 trade blockade that halted the supply of silk to Britain, Paisley had already established itself as a textile centre home to thousands of weavers. But that attempt to cripple British trade triggered an innovation that would turn the town into a manufacturing powerhouse. Within years, Paisley was home to the third largest corporation in the world and its eponymous pattern had become iconic. More than 200 years on from Bonaparte’s blockade, the town no longer produces the cloth but local leaders hope to pull on those threads to weave a new story after years of commercial decline and industrial drift forced a strategic rethink of what makes a town. The result is an overarching regeneration plan to make culture king in the home of John Byrne, Gerry Rafferty, David Tennant and Paolo Nutini.
