Scope and Content St Enoch Station (St Enoch Square), Glasgow St Enoch was Glasgow's first large city-centre railway station, built for the Glasgow and South Western Railway. A temporary terminus at Dunlop Street was opened in 1870. The St Enoch Station was completed in 1876, and its integral hotel in 1879. The station was extended to the south in 1898-1902. This shows one of the entrances to stairs leading to a secondary entrance to the station from Dunlop Street. This was still open in the 1950s. On the left are offices which were occupied by the Glasgow and South Western Railway's administration. This station was built partly because the Glasgow and South Western formed a partnership with the Midland Railway to run Anglo-Scottish services via the Midland's Settle and Carlisle line. These services ended in the mid-1960s. St Enoch was demolished in the early 1970s and replaced by a shopping centre. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
