Scope and Content Fulbar Street Station, Renfrew, Renfrewshire This shows the building on the Paisley-bound platform from the south. It was on an L-plan, and contained a dwelling house as well as the booking office and waiting room. Since the 1840s there had been no direct link to Paisley, services operating to and from Glasgow. The Renfrew branch, as it had become, lost its passenger services in 1967, but the track was retained for freight for a few more years. It has now been lifted, and this station, still intact in 1971, demolished. This station was opened in 1836 by the Paisley & Renfrew Railway, an isolated line intended to link Paisley with a wharf on the River Clyde. This station served the town centre of Renfrew. The line's importance was much reduced when Paisley got rail links to Glasgow & Greenock in 1840-1. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
