Scope and Content Platform at Haymarket Station, Edinburgh Haymarket Station was originally the head office and terminus of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. It was designed by the civil engineer John Miller or possibly by David Bell, who prepared some designs for him in the 1840s. This is a view of a platform and a station clock. The clocks were an important part of railway station furniture. Sometimes they were made by famous clock-makers. This clock is supported on an iron column with a smartly decorated base. By 1845 the railways were booming in Scotland. This led to many changes. People became more mobile, towns were linked, perishable goods could be moved long distances, and economic growth was encouraged. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
