The same location as https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5265047 , the monumental masons (under a different name) being the only surviving building. This view https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5265053 is a little further north and shows how the industrial buildings have disappeared, although the houses are those visible to the right of my picture. The whole area of the former Geigy/BASF works is currently (2021) a major housing scheme in development https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6238317 . Graham's buses were an independent operator providing a number of local bus services in the Paisley area, and for many years standardised on Guy buses, both new and second hand. No.43, a Guy Arab IV with Northern Counties bodywork, was new to the company in 1957 and is working the main route between Linwood and Hawkhead. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761
