Scope and Content Left Luggage Office, Queen Street Station, No 4 West George Street, Glasgow This station was opened in 1842 by the Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway, who built a wood-clad train shed to cover the platforms. The company took over the West George Street Independent Chapel, built in 1819, as their offices. The station was extended in 1855-6, and largely rebuilt in 1878-80. This shows the frontage of the station to West George Street. With the classical former church in the middle distance. The single-storey shops show where the original train shed was situated. The nearest building was an hotel, but was latterly a railway parcels office. These buildings were all demolished in the early 1970s and replaced by an extension to the former station hotel, offices and a bar. Behind the new buildings is the train shed built in 1879-80, and refurbished in the late 1990s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
