Ferguslie Park undergrowth
The distant trees mark the line of the disused Paisley and Barrhead District Railway line (known locally as the Dummy Line) http://railway.paisleyhistory.uk/pbdr.html . It was used as recently as the 1980s as a spur for the car factory at Linwood which closed at that time. Prior to the car factory, it also served as a spur for the Pressed Steel factory at Linwood which produced the "blue trains" (Class 303), which were the first electric trains for the north and south Clyde lines in the 1960s.
The embankment in the foreground is to prevent access to the waste ground by unauthorised vehicles.

Ferguslie Park Avenue
'Ferguslie Park has improved over many years by building centres for sports and leisure for all ages. However, in 2012 the "Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation" analysis by the Scottish Government again identified Ferguslie Park as the most deprived area in Scotland.' (Source - Wikipedia).
The regeneration of the estate continues. Here, smart, modern housing stands in Ferguslie Park Avenue.

Tannahill Road, Paisley
This is the northern end of Tannahill Road, at its junction with Ferguslie Park Avenue. Many of the houses are boarded up, and I suspect are scheduled for demolition.
