012.02 | Extends from its junction With St. Mirren's Street and Water Brae, to its junction With Neilston Street and Calside, Consists of houses two and three Sroreys high, Slated & in good repair, it is a long, Winding Street irregularly laid Out, but in which much buisiness is transacted particularly So at the north end where there are a large number of elegant and extensive Warehouses; So Called it is Said from the Circumstance of a Roman Road which was formed on its Site for the Ambitious purpose of Warlike invasion, but which is now Applied to the ends of Commerce and friendly intercourse, and that the houses built on the Side of the Roman Causey, naturally became "Causeyside Street", "There is little doubt that the Well Known Street of Paisley Called Causeway Side Street, must have taken its name from its following the track of or running Contiguous to the Old Roman Causeway, In Blean's Map (1654) Causewaysid appears as a Small Clachan at Some little distance from the town, and deriving its name from the Roman Road near it."
