Spateston is a housing estate in the Renfrewshire town of Johnstone. It was built on rural ground meaning there are some streets like Auchengreoch Road that contain former farm houses that have been engulfed by the scheme. It was built in the late 1960s/early 1970s over several years. The area once had a wealth of local amenities with St Cuthbert's High School, St Anthony's Primary School, close proximity to Milliken Park Train Station, St Anthony's parish,The Osprey pub and even it's own shopping centre with newsagents and takeaways and pharmacys. The shopping centre is now largely derelict and the High School has closed, although is used by other schools in the Paisley area as a decant while their schools are being refurbished.
