Scope and Content St Enoch Subway Station, St Enoch Square, Glasgow St Enoch was built as part of the Glasgow District Subway Co's circular cable-worked underground system, opened in 1896. Like all the original stations it had an underground island platform reached by stairs from a ticket office on the surface. This one had a surface building incorporating offices for the company. This shows the surface building from the south-east, seen from the elevated carriageway in front of St Enoch Railway Station. The entrance to the underground platform is at the right-hand end of the building, under the awning. The surface building was designed by James Miller, architect. The Subway company was taken over by Glasgow Corporation in 1923. The system was electrified in 1935. It was completely rebuilt in the mid-1970s, with a new St Enoch Station. This building was retained as a travel centre, but had to be jacked up to clear the new underground booking hall. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
