Contracted this company to clear the flat of my deceased mother. Two young guys cleared EVERYTHING out of the rented property, including furniture, carpets, ornaments, white goods and food/household products, politely, efficiently, and respectfully. Excellent service.

The guys from Northern House Clearance have just cleared a house for me in Scotland. The house was packed not only with a lifetimes worth of memories, but all the clutter that goes with it. Within 2 days it was emptied down to the floorboards. A great job from a good team of lads. Highly recommended.

An excellent 5 star service. Firstly the compassion shown due to the circumstances which resulted in having to use their services, not just on the phone but by the team who arrived, on time, to perform the job. Above all a friendly attitude goes a long way in stressful times. Professional from the start to the end of the day and due to the amount of clutter a second day was needed. I could not believe how much was cleared in just one day, it was as if the clutter had it's own clutter to clear. Hope that I never need to use them again, but if I have to clear another property they will be the only people that I call. Highly recommend them. G.Hatton. Cheshire.

The team arrived bang on time and began work immediately. They continued for five solid days and completed the entire clearance of my late uncles house, which was a case of extreme hoarding over many decades. They even removed carpets, curtains and swept up so the house was ready for sale. They were exeptionally hard working, polite and charged a reasonable price for this incredibly difficult job. Terrific service, absolutely recommended.

You could take a walk along Glebe Street and up Sandy Road and find fields the whole way to Cockles Loan with the exception of some private houses here and there, in fact every housing scheme in Renfrew was at one time farmland which changed the face of the town and in itself led to many other changes.

Our walk continued into Paisley Road via Cockles Loan, therefore the Loanhead, Victory Gardens, Arkleston, and Newmains, housing schemes as they are now, was farmland then, and if we were to continue down Paisley Road we again encountered fields on which the Porterfield scheme was built. Arriving at the south corner of Newmains Road and Paisley Road the tramway depot was situated, and on a similar corner at Broadloan, a derelict mill.

To finish this aspect of my story I should mention that, the Fulbar scheme as it is now was once barren ground, and when the “shows or the circus” came to town, this was the site that was chosen, also on occasion they occupied the ground now known as Simons Crescent. On the other side of the high railway was another small field on which you will now find Hamilton Crescent, and in those far off days I always regarded this part of the town as rather desolate, and the smell coming from the gas works certainly did not help.

To avoid confusion I should like to point out, that the Fulbar scheme is in Fulbar Lane and the new scheme in Fulbar Street was the railway siding I previously mentioned. The people of those days were more dependant on trams than on trains as a means of transport, and the motor car had still to make its impact. The Glasgow trains were regarded as luxurious in comparison to the Paisley trains, so, whilst the Glasgow trains were operated by the Glasgow corporation, and provided the most efficient public transport available at the time with their enclosed double deck, the Paisley trains had no roof to the upper deck and one had to sit exposed to the elements, but for mere coppers one could travel for miles, and I never did find out who actually were the owners of the Paisley tram..

Renfrew despite being a small town had two railways, the High and the Low, and it is surprising to learn that there were eight railway bridges, although this could be disputed as far as one or two were concerned. Therefore workers from Glasgow or Paisley could travel to Renfrew by train. Their was also a freight service to the two shipyards and down to Renfrew Wharf, and just across from Meadow Lane their was a tank for servicing the locomotives with water, and a roundabout, operated manually so that the engines could be made to face in the opposite direction.

Elderly people will remember the summers of their childhood as being long and warm!, be that as it may, Renfrew was still a good place for children to play. He or she was a fortunate child who knew a farmer well enough to allow them to play on his farm, or a Carter who allowed you to have a “hurl” on the back of his cart, or even perhaps to frequent his stables, and In some strange way become nearer to nature than the children of today.
