Scope and Content Old Bridge Street Station, Nos 14-14B Bridge Street, Glasgow This shows what was left of the station in 1970. The front block was originally much deeper, and had internal stairs leading to a train shed at first-floor level. There was a tetra-style Doric portico between the wings seen here, and there were steps where the shop-front has been inserted. The station was designed by James Collie, architect, and was probably the finest early railway station in Scotland. The four-storeyed block to the right was an hotel operated in connection with the station. This building was demolished in the 1970s. This station was built in 1840-1 as the Glasgow terminus of the Glasgow & Paisley Joint Railway, which was joined between the Glasgow, Paisley & Greenock and Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock & Ayr railways. It was replaced by a new station in 1890, and then by an enlarged Central Station in 1906. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
