Scope and Content Warehouses, Nos 105-91 Bell Street, Glasgow This warehouse was probably built for the Glasgow & South Western Railway in about 1880, during the expansion of its College Goods Station, though it may have been part of the original goods station of c.1871. This shows the building from the south-east, with the much larger bonded warehouse of 1882-3 to the left. The coupled arched windows on the upper floor look more like c.1870 than c.1880 work. The interior had flat mass concrete arches on cast iron beams and columns. This warehouse survived the demolition of the main part of the College Goods Station in about 1970, but it was demolished in the 1980s. Its importance as an early, perhaps the earliest, use of mass concrete in fireproof construction had probably not been appreciated. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
