Scope and Content High Street Goods Station, No 208 High Street, Glasgow This was Glasgow's only major 20th-century goods station, designed by James Bell, engineer for the North British Railway and completed in 1907 as College Goods Station. It had a steel frame, and was brick clad. Above rail level were two floors of warehousing. This shows the frontage of the station to High Street, uncompromisingly functional in style, but impressive in scale and massing. The ramp on the left leads to a platform-level running the whole length of the shed. Wagons and vans were handled inside the shed by electric capstans, and electric lifts gave access to the upper floors. The station was an outstanding success, but with the decline of rail-borne general goods traffic it became redundant, and was closed in the 1970s. It has since been demolished.
