Scope and Content West Kilbride Railway Station, West Kilbride, Ayrshire West Kilbride station was opened in 1878 by the Glasgow & South Western Railway as a wayside station on its line to Fairlie Pier. The original basic station building was replaced c1900 by this building, probably designed by James Miller. This view shows the street front of the main station building, designed in an English Arts & Crafts style, popular at the time for domestic architecture, and for golf club buildings and other buildings of like character. West Kilbride developed as a middle class dormitory village for Glasgow and industrial Ayrshire, hence the fashionable new building. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
