The original B789 was a short link road in central Renfrewshire. It started on the A737 on the western edge of Paisley and then headed northwest to Linwood before turning southwestwards to end on the B788 to the east of Brookfield.
The route was renumbered later in the 1920s and upgraded to Class I status as part of the A761 and remains this number, although Linwood is now partially bypassed. The B789 forked right over the old Linwood Bridge, and passed through the town on Bridge Street and the full length of Bridge of Weir Road. The B789 number was therefore freed up for use nearby.
The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Paisley - Newfield
