Scope and Content Former Coplawhill horse tram depot and workshops, Pollokshaws Road and Albert Drive, Glasgow This complex was built by Glasgow Corporation after they took over operation of their horse tramways from the private Glasgow Tramway and Omnibus Co. The depot was built 1894, and the workshops in 1899-1912, for electric tram- building and repair. This view shows the west end of the Albert Road side of the complex. The two arched openings on the right served the long workshop bays added c1900 for the building and repair of electric tramcars. After the electrified tramway system closed in 1962, part of the workshops were converted into a transport museum. In this view an exhibit is arriving under its own steam. The former museum is now a performing arts venue called The Tramway. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
