Scope and Content Glasgow Green Station, Glasgow This station was opened in 1896 by the Glasgow Central Railway, built underground through central Glasgow to link its Lanarkshire lines with the Lanarkshire & Dumbartonshire Railway to give the company access to the shipyards on the north bank of the River Clyde, and to the Vale of Leven. This shows the surface building of the station, whose platforms were underground. This building was probably designed by Sir J J Burnet. The station closed in 1953, and the platforms had been cut back. This surface building was derelict by 1965. This station was at the east end of Monteith Row, built in the early 19th century as a select middle-class flatted development. It was still respectable in the 1890s, but declined subsequently. The real enemy of the success of the station was the electrification of the Glasgow street tramways in 1901-2. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
