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 the station from the east, with the 1898-1902 train shed on the left and steel-framed platform awnings on the right, presumably part of the 1898-1902 works on the right. The turn of the century extension was designed by William Melville, engineer to the Glasgow and South Western Railway. 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.
