Inkerman was a small hamlet set up in 1858 in the Abbey Parish of Paisley to house ironstone miners.
The hamlet was named after a recent (1854) British military victory, the Battle of Inkerman, in the Crimean War.
A bloody battle was fought resulting in the death of one man and several others were badly injured Inkerman was near Candrens, where Blackstone Road passes under the A737.
A Church of Scotland Mission Hall was erected and later the Inkerman Bowling Club[1] (which still exists, on the Blackstoun Road) was formed.
Inkerman is no longer listed on maps but can be found on the historic Ordnance Survey series, as can Balaklava near Clippens.
