Scope and Content Fulbar Street Station, Renfrew, Renfrewshire This shows the building on the Paisley-bound platform from the south-west. It was on an L-plan, and contained a dwelling house as well as the booking office and waiting room. Note that the north-bound track in the foreground had been lifted. 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.
