Scope and Content Bellgrove Station, Bellgrove Street, Glasgow This station was originally known as Bellgrove Street, and was built between 1883 and 1889 for the City of Glasgow Union Railway, to designs by James Carsewell, engineer to the North British Railway. This shows the waiting rooms on the island platform from the west. These are at the east end of the platform, near the original entrance. The siding on the right was originally provided to handle cattle arriving for sale at the Glasgow Cattle Market nearby. When the station was opened in 1883 the access was though a small stone building in Sword Street. In 1889 this was supplanted by an entrance from Bellgrove Street, with a wooden booking office above the platform, linked to it by a stair. All the old buildings were demolished in the 1980s.
