They are going to build a ROADbridge next according to the thing I read. It didn't say exactly where, just over the White Cart.

I read that about a road connecting Renfrew Road and Love Street.

Just maybe somewhere along the red line. 
Possibly

https://www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/article/8897/White-Cart-can-unlock-Paisleys-economic-potential

A report to Renfrewshire Council's Leadership Board details the Strategic Business Case for building new connections along the White Cart corridor, including a 'gateway' road bridge at Paisley Harbour and an east-west road link from Renfrew Road to the edge of the river.

Cider was probably thought of as apple wine.

That would be my guess Buddiecat, I had Cider in a restaurant in Madeira that was sold as an Apple Wine.

Can remember all of those buildings except from the tenements on the corner of Abercorn and Niddry Street. Gawds I'm older than I thought. [emoji24]

I think ( fairly sure ) my Aunt lived on ground floor in the tenement block in the 70’s - I used to go there.

Did it have an old railway line running behind it ?

The railway line ran under Renfrew Road and behind Reid Kerr College. With a siding down towards your Aunts. Last train I seen on it was about 1978.

No, it was Tesco. I asked some mates as we grew up in Gallowhill about it, when a work colleague was talking about a cash van incident at it. Somehow I had a brain freeze and had forgot it was Tesco that built it. Though it wasn't allowed to sell food.

I don't recall it being a Tesco, you must be older than me. :D
