Scope and Content Queen Street Station, Dundas Street Entrance, Glasgow This station was opened in 1842 by the Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway, with a large train shed. A former church and some other existing buildings were incorporated. In 1855-6 a new carriage entrance was built in Dundas Street. The train shed was replaced in 1880, and the 1855-6 buildings were demolished in 1968. This shows the Dundas Street frontage of the 1855-6 block from the north-west. Note that a shop had been inserted in the two northern arches, in about 1960, when the interior was remodelled. The former church is on the right. The building had a central area for carriages, used by taxis until the 1950s, with side and rear pavements for pedestrians. It was demolished in 1968, and replaced by the present entrance and booking offices. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
