Scope and Content Fulbar Street Station, Renfrew, Renfrewshire This shows the station from the south. The nearer footbridge was for rail users, and was probably installed in the 1880s or 1890s. The farther bridge was for general pedestrian use, and had no access to the platforms. The main building is behind the car on the right. 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.
