Scope and Content Former Clydebank Riverside Station, Dunbartonshire This station was built for the Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway, a Caledonian Railway subsidiary built to compete with the North British Railway. The main two-storey building was on the Glasgow-bound platform. This view shows the building from the north east, The platforms were to the left. The building incorporated a dwelling-house for the agent. The quality of the design, probably by Sir JJ Burnet, was a consequence of the competition it represented. The station closed in 1965, though the dwelling-house was still in use in 1978. The whole building has since been converted into flats. The cranes on the left were in John Brown's shipbuilding yard, by 1978 operated as an oil rig construction yard. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
