Scope and Content St Enoch Station, Glasgow This station was opened by the Glasgow & South Western Railway in 1876, and extended in 1898-1902. The St Enoch Hotel, which formed the frontage to the station, was opened in 1879. The station was built to provide the company with a city centre terminus for its Anglo-Scottish and local services. This shows the carriage entrance at the south side of the hotel building, part of which can be seen on the left. The ironwork was part of the complex as completed in 1879. The castings were made by James Allan Senior & Co in the Elmbank Foundry in North Street, Glasgow. St Enoch Station closed in 1966, as a result of the Beeching rationalisation of British Railways. The buildings were retained for several years, the former platform area being used as a car park. They were demolished in the early 1970s, and the site redeveloped as a shopping centre.
