St Enoch Station, built 1870-9 for the City of Glasgow Union Rly. The station proper was designed by John Fowler and James F Blair, engineers, and the hotel and office block by Thomas Willson, Hampstead, and M S Gibson, architects. The first station, at Dunlop Street, was opened on 12 December 1870, and was only temporary in nature. The first station on the present site was opened 1 May 1876, and the development completed by the opening of the hotel ( NS56SE 256 ) on 3 July 1879. The overall five centred arch roof of the station, constructed by Messrs A Handyside of Derby, has a span of 205ft [62.5m] and a length of 525ft [160.1m], and is of wrought iron, covering six platforms.

Between 1898 and 1902, the station was extended, the viaduct from Eglinton St widened, including the bridge over the Clyde ( NS56SE 145 ), and a second arched roof added, 198ft [60.4m] wide and 525ft [160.1m] long. Awnings were constructed to cover the projecting ends of the new platforms. The extension was designed by William Melville, engineer to the Glasgow and South-Western Rly, which had taken over the station from the CGUR. In the triangle to the E of the station [at NS 5940 6477] is an engine shed [ NS56SE 69.01 ], built between 1882 and 1885, with a 30-bay frontage to King St. The undercroft of the engine shed has been used for many years as a bonded store. The station itself is SDD category B. J R Hume 1974. St Enoch Station was Glasgow¿s equivalent to London¿s St Pancras.

In 1880 it was Scotland¿s premier passenger terminal, with a hotel to match, and symbolised the victory of the Glasgow and South-Western Rly over the Caledonian Rly in the `battle of the companies¿. It was planned within the limitations of a severely restricted site, necessitating sharply curving approaches from both N and S, and incorporated a large low level bonded warehouse, which was served by hydraulic hoists from the platforms. An impressively large station clock was a prominent feature, while the station was later to house a noted anti-gothic war memorial by Sir Robert Lorimer. As first planned (by John Fowler and J F Blair) `St Enoch¿s Square Central Station¿ was to have been a through station with eight platforms on the same site as that subsequently built. It was to incorporate a `grand hotel¿ (in the N frontage), two locomotive sheds and a carriage shed. Sector plates were to be used (instead of conventional points) to increase the space available at the ends of two of the platforms.

The roof was to be in three spans, of 105ft (32m), 95ft (29m) and 85ft (25.9m) respectively. The main station was designed in Italianate style, with the hotel in the French manner. It was tentatively suggested that other companies should be granted access. In August 1868, the Board reported the expenditure of £300,000 on works `as yet entirely unproductive¿; this included £200,000 paid in compensation to property owners. As the Bridge Street station ( NS56SE 467.00 ) was already overcrowded and could not accommodate the increased traffic expected at the opening of the Greenock line, it was necessary to construct a temporary station on the N bank. This was provided at Dunlop Street ( NS56NE 1348 ), opening on 12 December 1870, the Clyde viaduct ( NS56SE 145 ) having opened on 2 June 1870.

This station was built by Thomas Brassey and Co, and had six lines, four platforms, a booking hall and refreshment room. When it closed in 1876 (at the opening of St Enoch) its roof was dismantled and re-erected at the company¿s Fairlie terminus (Fairlie Pier Station: NS25NW 129 ). Further unsuccessful attempts were made in 1872-3 to amalgamate the G&SW with the Midland, while the Settle and Carlisle Rly (the link between the two companies¿ systems) was under construction. At this stage, the Caledonian Rly was denied access to the station, forcing them to construct their own Central Station ( NS56NE 77.00 ); the value of this was itself reduced by the refusal of the G&SWR to sell its interest in Bridge Street Station. In 1874, The Midland Rly began to take an interest in the building plans of their partner. James Allport, the Midland manager, selected one of the plans, considering the building as a terminus under a single-span; the proposed line to the W was never built.

Midland influence was also apparent in the choice of the gothic style (as at St Pancras). John Fowler was consulting engineer throughout the project, but following the death (in August 1876) of his assistant James F Blair, he was joined by Mr Crouch whose business associate Charles P Hogg had been resident engineer from the start. The roof was constructed by Handyside and Co (of Derby), and was of similar design to that at St Pancras, although somewhat smaller and with a curved soffit rather than a pointed apex. It measured 525ft (160.1m) in length by 204ft (62.2m) in width and 83ft (25.3m) in height. The ribs were formed by fifteen lattice girders, each of which was 5ft (1.5m) deep and weighed 36tons 12cwt (37.2t). These were set just over 36ft (11m) apart except at the E end, where they were 18ft (5.5m) apart and carried an ornamental screen of glass and iron.

The western screen was 35ft (10.7m) above the platforms, and ended in a lean-to roof against the wall of the booking office. Unlike at St Pancras, the floor girders did not act as a tie for the roof principals, but, instead, each stood on wrought iron shoes secured by bolts of 2.25ins (57mm) diameter attached to cast-iron anchor beams embedded in the platforms. Each main rib was delivered in eleven portions. During construction, truss rods had to be inserted to correct a lateral deflection in the lower purlins, which is probably why W H Barlow (the designer of the St Pancras roof) claimed £315 in professional fees in May 1875. In December 1876, the cost was estimated at £52,000. As constructed, the station had eight lines of rails, six having platforms and the other two being used as carriage sidings. The train shed was the first public area in Glasgow to be lit by electricity, an experimental installation of carbon-arc lamps powered by a steam engine in the hotel laundry being installed in 1879. Gaslights were kept in reserve.

The station served a wide spread of routes, and immediately proved successful to the point of over crowding. In the 1880¿s there was a Tyers train describer to assist in route setting, but delays were caused by goods trains using the College branch while much shunting was controlled verbally or by hand signalling. On 3 Julyt 1898, 45 electric shunting signals (allowing at least 135 possible combinations) were brought into operation, allowing the number of signal boxes to be reduced from 393 to 183. There were obvious limits to what could be achieved by resignalling, and in 1898 powers were obtained to extend the station. The Clyde Bridge ( NS56SE 145 ) was reinstated to allow four running lines, and the line from St Enoch to Port Eglinton was also quadrupled. Six additional buildings were built at the S side of the station to provide a total of twelve platforms, which were all renumbered, with a total area of 23,600 sq yds (19,732 sq m).

Part of the roof was extended by 281ft (85.7m); the new portion was of similar design to the old but only 65ft (19.8m) high. Facilities were also improved, and the station staff increased. The extension cost about £2.3 million. The station was increasingly outclassed by Central Station ( NS56NE 77.00 ) after about 1910, and became increasingly obsolete after the rationalisation of the inter-war years. Little modernisation (other than resignalling) took place after 1904, while suburban traffic decreased after about 1900 on account of competition from the tramway system. The station closed in 1966, and the hotel in 1974. (Illustrations include plans and sections: tables detail operating statistics and comparative dimensions of roofs at St Enoch and St Pancras). C Johnston and J R Hume 1979. Engineering, 18 January 1867. St Enoch Station was the principal terminus of the Glasgow and South Western Railway Company, which operated Anglo-Scottish services jointly with the Midland Railway.

The station was opened for traffic in October 1876, and the five-storeyed hotel facing St Enoch Square was completed in July 1879, evidently incorporating the earliest electric lighting-system in Glasgow. The commercial success of the station led to the construction of six additional platforms between 1898 and 1902, bringing the total number up to twelve. The station was closed in 1966, the hotel in 1974, and the entire complex has since been demolished. The special distinction of the train-shed was its pair of impressive arched overall roofs. The roof of the original (northern) shed was of five-centred elliptical form and of wrought-iron and steel construction. It had a clear span of about 204 ft (62.2m), a height of 83 ft (25.3m), and a length of about 525 ft (160m) divided up by latticed arch-ribs into sixteen bays. The arch-ribs bore the date 1877 (when the station was already in operation) and the maker's name, Messrs.

Andrew Handyside & Co. Ltd. of Derby and London, which reflected the interest and influence of the Midland Rly. in a design which would serve as a counterpart to that of their own larger and more celebrated terminal station at London (St Pancras). The design engineers for St Enoch were John Fowler and James F Blair. The roof over the southern extension was of similar but smaller arched form, being 293 ft 7 ins (89.48m) long, 65 ft (19.81m) high, and having an internal clear span of 143 ft (43.6m). Beyond the sheds, the platforms were covered with glazed awnings. G D Hay and G P Stell 1986. Under redevelopment as Saint Enoch Centre, 1988. (Unsourced) information in NMRS. This station was the Glasgow terminus of the Glasgow and South-Western Rly. It was opened by the G&SW on 17 October 1876 and was closed by British Railways on 27 June 1966, together with the line to Ibrox (Shields Junction.

The buliding was used as a car park for some years before demolition. This building may be considered as the Scottish equivalent to St Pancras Station, London, the terminus of the Midland Rly which was the English associate and 'ally' of the Glasgow and South-Western Rly.

Located on St Enoch Square in the city centre, it was opened by the City of Glasgow Union Railway, in 1876. The first passenger train stopping there on 1 May 1876, with the official opening taking place on 17 October 1876. The St Enoch Hotel at the front of the station opened on July 3rd 1879.

With 200 bedrooms and 20 public rooms, it was the largest of the city's three railway hotels. The imposing frontage facing St Enoch Square was 360ft long and 120ft high and the North wing, extending to Dunlop Street was 500ft long. In 1883 it was taken over by the Glasgow and South Western Railway and it became their head quarters. St Enoch Station was the first major public building in Glasgow lit by electricity. The original six platforms were covered by an arched roof measuring 83ft high, 204ft wide and 525ft long, modelled on St Pancras Station in London.Such was the success of the station, that extra platforms and a second roof, 70ft high by 143ft wide were added in 1901. In the 1923 grouping it was taken over and then operated by the London Midland and Scottish Railway. After the nationalisation of the United Kingdom rail network, the station was run by British Railways.

It was a large station (the second largest in the city) with 12 platforms and two impressive semi-cylindrical glass/iron overall roofs. The station was closed in 1966 as part of the rationalisation of the railway system undertaken by Dr Richard Beeching. In an act that can be described as nothing more than architectural vandalism, the roofs of the structure were demolished, despite protests, in 1976. The St Enoch Hotel which fronted the station and the brick-arch viaducts which supported the station were then demolished in 1977, with the city council claiming the site was earmarked for a building for use by the Ministry of Defence - this never materialised. The site is now occupied by another glass structure, the St Enoch Centre, a large and rather hideous shopping centre which opened in 1988. The remains of the station and hotel were used to help in fill the Queen's Dock on the banks of the River Clyde, today the home of the SECC.

St Enoch Subway Station - Centre of the Glasgow City Centre St Enoch St Enoch Station – The City Centre, Central Station and Argyle Street meets Buchanan Street St Enoch Subway station is a tale of two platforms, two sets of escalators and two sides of Glasgow. It is one of the biggest stations on the network with two distinct platforms serving each circle. It is important to pick the right circle for your direction of travel before you head through the ticket barriers, as it’s a one shot deal. If you pick the wrong side, you will have to come back through the barriers and it may mean another charge. The escalators are in pairs beyond the ticket barriers, with the left side going down and the right side coming up. In times of repair or renewal this may change, so be prepared to have to clamber down the escalator unpowered if need be. It can be a tight squeeze. The entrance to St Enoch Station The platforms themselves are a somewhat strange experience. The two platforms face each other, so there is a definite temptation to have a scan across the opposing platform. The large pillars that stand between the rail lines also add to the sense of distance.

Over the years, I have witnessed the rather unusual spectacle of drunken locals conducting a very public conversation with their mate across the platforms many a time. All in, the distance, the pillars and the generally murky middle section, make it a very unusual and cramped viewing spectacle. On the main concourse of the station stands the main ticket office and machines, with the two sets of barriers leading off to the two separate platforms on either side. The station itself has recently undergone a vast upgrade, but we decided to leave our old photographs up for posterity (or at least until we can get a new set of photo’s). The modern version has been stripped bare and now looks like something out of a Stanley Kubrick movie. The (under renovation) ticket hall at St Enoch Station The busiest and most obvious entrance to St Enoch Subway station, is from the Buchanan Street / Argyle Street entrance which leads up a large set of glass covered escalators. The impressive rise is met by one of the busiest pedestrian junctions in Glasgow, namely the junction of the pedestrian Buchanan Street and the traffic restricted Argyle Street. Together with Buchanan Street station, which can just about be seen in the distance, it provides the main shopping area of Glasgow.

Immediately outside the station sits the St Enoch shopping centre. The facility is a large covered retail shopping mall and offers a host of big name brands, as well as an ice rink and car park. Despite playing second fiddle to Buchanan Galleries, the St Enoch Centre offers a capable alternative with the advantage of not being at the top of a massive hill. Across the road from the main glass covered entrance is Fraser’s department store and further up is the exclusively posh Princes Square . The new platform sign at St Enoch Station Argyle Street neatly crosses the end of Buchanan Street, on the one side leading to Central Station , the Hielemans Umbrella and the International Financial Services District . The opposite direction leads to a nice run of pedestrian mainstream shopping (TK Maxx, River Island, Mark’s and Spencers) before heading off to the Merchant City, Trongate and finally the Gallowgate. At the entrance of St Enoch Station looking out The second entrance to St Enoch Subway station is at the opposite end of the station. This entrance leads on to the quieter side of St Enoch Square and further on to the river, with it’s bridges and classical cobbled waterfront.

It’s actually a very nice view at night when it’s all lit up. Significant work has been done on the waterfront in recent years to make it a modern river based area. It is probably worth mentioning at this point that while St Enoch very much continues the luxury and opulence of Buchanan Street, you are never very far away from the less flashy areas of central Glasgow. The area beyond Central Station, heading west down Argyle Street, is now the International Financial Services District. Most of the local Glaswegians still refer to it as Anderson though, the concrete clad bus station and general area term that is still synonymous with the Red Light district. During the day, it is all flash suits and business lunches but late at night the seedier side of Glasgow comes out to play. A train heads into the tunnel at St Enoch Station Likewise, the progression in the other direction along Argyle Street starts first with the very respectable Merchant City but gradually moves beyond it towards Trongate and High Street. Beyond that, the Gallowgate and the Barras market area offers a more earthy and authentic Glaswegian shopping experience. At weekends, there is a large and very famous market there that has various stalls and entertainments.

It’s a long way from the style and sophistication of a continental market but still a good day out rummaging around in the weird and wonderful stalls. It’s low rent but it’s fun. Just a short walk from St Enoch Station is Central Station The other major role played by St Enoch Subway station is to service Central Station. The railway station is the main terminus for the West Coast main line to London and can be accessed from under the unique structure that is the Hielemans umbrella. Just exit the subway station, turn left and keep going. When it gets dark just follow the signs for Central Station, you can’t miss it. You should pass through the fast food epicentre of Glasgow at the Union street junction and it is a few minutes walk under the bridge so just keep going. If you come out at the other side of the Hielemans umbrella then you have gone too far. Subcrawlers normally assemble outside Times Square which is just on the right if leaving the quieter entrance to the station. Don’t be limited to just going there however, as there is Hootenanny’s on the other side of the square as well.

If you hipsters want something a bit less old man, Sloan’s is down the alley on the opposite side from Fraser’s, just outside the main station entrance. Saying that, it is Glasgow’s oldest bar. By far the biggest decision for subcrawlers is deciding which way to go round. Traditionally, most people do the southern first clockwise route so they can finish the Rangers pubs before it gets late. If you are doing a less than serious crawl then the northern anti-clockwise route has the better pubs. Many a fantastic crawl has died a death at Partick and been no worse for it. On the whole, St Enoch is among the busiest on the network and covers the southern end of the Glasgow City Centre. With Buchanan Street , it is one half of the main city centre stations on the network. Useful Links Full record for 'BUCHANAN STREET AND ST. ENOCH'S RAILWAY STATIONS AND ST.

The St Enoch's Station Hotel was built in 1880, closed in 1966 and demolished in 1977 to make way for St Enoch's Shopping Centre. The railway station was constructed in 1876 by the City of Glasgow Union Railway. Opened in 1849 and the only foothold of the Caledonian Railway on the north of the Clyde, Buchanan Street was situated quite close to the existing Queen Street station and used for the company's English traffic.

St. Enoch Square | Glasgow History Achievements and Archive Photographs of this Great Scottish City St. Enoch Square by Chris Jones on March 28, 2010 St. Enoch Square is actually sacred ground. It is the site of the chapel and last resting place of St. Thenew, the mother of St. Kentigern, also known as St. Mungo, the Patron Saint of Glasgow. The name Enoch is considered to be a corruption of Thenew. Since consecration, the land has been venerated and marked by a succession of chapels. Sadly, this came to an end in 1926 when the last St. Enoch Church on the site was demolished. With its disappearance, respect and recognition for the hallowed grounds ebbed away. They became a car park and later a bus stance. However, all is not lost and perhaps they will be honoured again in the future. This Valentine’s Series postcard of St. Enoch Square was registered in 1911 but the photograph may have been taken earlier. It shows the St.

Enoch Church, the entrance to the St. Enoch Subway Station and the St Enoch Hotel and Railway Station, the latter being the principal terminus and headquarters of the Glasgow & South Western Railway. The church had been rebuilt from an earlier one whose foundation stone was laid on 12th April 1790 and the spire had been retained. The railway station entrance and hotel were constructed on the site of the Surgeons’ Hall which stood on the east side of the square. Today, only the Subway building survives. The church was unfortunately swept away in 1926 and the station and hotel in 1977. St. Enoch Station opened in 1876 and the hotel followed three years later. It was described as “the most imposing structure in Glasgow” and with over 200 bedrooms was the city’s largest hotel. Both the station and the hotel were among the first buildings in Glasgow to be lit by electricity. ( This postcard was originally published by E. A. Schwerdtfeger & Co. but the name was subsequently removed from reissues once Great Britain headed into the Great War. ) Here is a later view of part of the St.

Enoch Hotel which was an enormous structure extending well round the left hand side. The gas lamps in St. Enoch Square have now been replaced by electric lights and the intricate wrought ironwork of the standard is evident in the foreground. The city wanted its new electric lights to be artistic as well as functional. People are traversing the ramp leading up to the station entrance and there are large posters under the canopy featuring enticing destinations. Various vendors occupy the arches beneath the ramp, including Burgoyne & Co. wine merchants and Brown & Sons, selling paints and varnishes. Ivie Hair & Co occupy a double frontage so they were obviously doing a good business selling soap and candles, oil and lard. ( The publisher’s name is not printed on the card but I believe this to be an E. & A. Schwerdtfeger successor. ) It is now 1949 and much of the Square is now being used as a car park and for taxis. Even though the Second World War ended just four years previously, the scene suggests one of prosperity and not austerity. The banner across Buchanan Street proclaims the Scottish Industries Exhibition.

Vendors are selling the same products from premises under the station ramp as were being sold 30 years earlier. ( Postcard published by Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd. ) Be Sociable, Share! RAILSCOT | City of Glasgow Union Railway City of Glasgow Union Railway ScotRail City of Glasgow Union Railway The major feature of this line was Glasgow St Enochs station. This station was famous for its quality hotel. The station has been closed an completely demolished. There were two glazed roofs side-by-side here situated above the Glasgow streets. The original smaller version of the station was called Dunlop Street. The site of the station is now several car-parks and the St Enoch's shopping centre. This railway is open to freight between Shields Road and High Street. Between Bellgrove and Springburn the line is open to passenger trains. A new line (the Cowlairs Chord) has been brough into use to allow trains to run down the line from High Level Glasgow Queen Street. The line has a link to the line to Cumbernauld and trains from High Level Queen Street use this link. The section of the line between Gorbals and Larkfield is closed and uplifted.

Local area Top This line divides into two parts. The southern section runs across through the centre of Glasgow. At its east end it runs near High Street, the oldest part of the city, crosses the River Clyde to the Gorbals and then finishes at Shields Road on the south side of the city. The northern section starts at High Street and runs north to Springburn. Chronology Top This is a double track railway which formerly included the large terminus St Enochs. Today the line mostly carrys freight on its sothern portion and both passengers and freight in its northern portion. The southern portion connects the Glasgow and Paisley Joint Railway to the Coatbridge Branch (North British Railway) . The northern portion connects the Coatbridge Branch (North British Railway) to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway . Top St Enoch was one of the principal stations in Glasgow. It had two large glass trainsheds. It was originally owned by the City of Glasgow Union Railway, which was a joint railway between the Glasgow and South Western Railway and the North British Railway and had platforms which could serve both the city union line north to the High street Junctions and south to Gorbals and Pollockshields.

Most of the platforms served the lines running south for the GSW's line to Carlisle via Dumfries. The station came under complete control of the G&SW. There were a triangle of lines just outside the station and trains could bypass the station - the bypass being open today. In the triangle of lines was a locomotive shed. Both the station and locomotive shed were at first floow level and oil would drip down from the locomotive shed on walkers underneath. The station closed to passengers, was briefly used by postal trains and then became a car-park. The train sheds were later demolished and even later the stonework and St Enoch's hotel were demolished and used to fill in the Queen's Dock in preparation for the building of the Scottish Exhibition Centre. Saltmarket Junction Top The Sighthill branch ran parallel to the line here and led to the large goods yard to the south east of this site. During an early dispute with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway the Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway ran its trains allow this line and onto the line at St Rollox for access to Buchanan Street . The Sighthill Branch ran parallel from here up to Cowlairs.

To the north of the station the Cowlairs Chord comes in from the site of the one-time Cowlairs station. The chord gives high-level Queen Street direct access to the City of Glasgow Union Railway and the Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway lines for running to Cumbernauld. Cowlairs West Junction? Glasgow Architecture - A Walk About Town Home Page - scotcities.com Contact Glasgow is Scotland's largest city and there are many interesting buildings to be seen in the city centre, which is laid out in a North American style grid-iron pattern. There are lots of landmark structures illustrating Glasgow's rich architectural heritage from the Victorian era and other historical periods. One of the first sights to greet visitors arriving at Glasgow Central Station is the Grand Central Hotel, which was designed by Edinburgh based architect, Robert Rowand Anderson. The hotel, which can be entered directly from the station concourse, opened in 1884 with its latest renovation having been completed in 2010. Clock tower over hotel at Central Station, Glasgow In 1876 Anderson made a study tour of London�s mainline railway terminals before finalising his designs, which were approved in 1877.

The hotel�s massive sandstone clock tower, illustrated above, dominates the corner of Gordon Street and Hope Street. The lead-clad summit is a particularly interesting feature not shared with any of its Metropolitan rivals. Victorian engraving of Central Station, Glasgow If you walk along Gordon Street from Central Station's front entrance you will soon come to Mitchell Street, which contains the former Glasgow Herald building designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and completed in 1895. Tower of Glasgow Herald Building The Glasgow Herald Building was re-modelled in 1999 to create a modernistic visitor centre for architecture and design, the Lighthouse. The tower shown above was originally designed for water storage as a fire precaution. It now houses a spiral staircase leading to an observation platform, allowing visitors a magnificent view of the city centre. View from Mitchell Street, looking north The lower levels of the building were used as production space and the newspapers were dispatched onto the waiting carts at the numerous openings all along Mitchell Street. The upper floors were used for the editorial side of the operation and again illustrate Mackintosh's unique style.

You can view more photographs and an original layout plan in my Lighthouse Illustrated Guide St Enoch Subway Station, 1896 Coming out of Mitchell Lane onto Buchanan Street, the quaint little St Enoch subway station is situated at the bottom of the street, in St Enoch Square. The architect was James Miller who produced a unique design which shows elements of Scots Baronial and Art Nouveau styles which were fashionable in 1896 when the station was opened. James Miller (right) worked in Glasgow for over 50 years, developing into one of the city�s most versatile architects of the early twentieth century. Miller was a contemporary of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and although he practised in the city for a very much longer period, his reputation hasn't survived as Mackintosh's has. In the late nineteenth century he specialised in railway projects, before winning the competitions for both the Glasgow Royal Infirmary and the Glasgow International Exhibition of 1901. These prestigious commissions allowed him to expand his horizons and make a big name for himself. In the years before the first world war he found a lucrative niche with his designs for the Peebles Hydro and the hotels at Turnberry and Gleneagles.

Miller was very much open to American influences which culminated in his design for the monumental Union Bank in St Vincent Street which was completed in 1927. This massive steel famed building, which would not look out of place in New York City or Chicago, is featured in the Commercial Glasgow page of this website. St Enoch Subway Station, 1922 Engraving of St Enoch Square and Church St Enoch Square had been laid out with grand Regency style buildings in the late 1700's and early 1800's. The centrepiece of the square was St Enoch's Church designed by James Paterson c.1780, shown in the above contemporary engraving. It was replaced by the church designed by David Hamilton, c.1825, shown in the pencil sketches below. The later building incorporated the spire of the earlier church, shown left, which was placed on top of the new clock tower. St Enoch's Church was demolished in the name of progress in 1926 to make way for a new bus station and improved vehicular access to the Victorian railway terminal which had replaced the buildings on the eastern side of the square.

The site of the old railway station is now occupied by a huge shopping mall, the St Enoch Centre. Perspective pencil sketches of later St Enoch's Church, Glasgow View of St Enoch Square from site of former church, c.1950 If you proceed from St Enoch Square to Queen Street you will come to Royal Exchange Square, which was planned and laid out by Archibald Elliot & Robert Black in the 1820's and 1830's. These gentlemen also designed many of the buildings in the square, notably the Royal Bank at the western end. Royal Exchange, Queen Street The centrepiece of the square is the Royal Exchange (above), designed by David Hamilton (right). The building now houses Glasgow's Museum of Modern Art, which opened to the public on 29th May 1996. The equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington at the front of the building was created by Baron Marochetti. It was unveiled on 8th October 1844 before a large number of Waterloo veterans.

The Royal Exchange is regarded as David Hamilton's architectural masterpiece and dates from 1829, when it was built around an existing mansion house which had been erected by tobacco merchant, William Cunningham in 1778. The total cost of the expansion was around �50,000. The old house had been acquired by the Royal Bank of Scotland in 1817, who occupied it for 10 years until their nearby premises were completed. It was purchased by the New Exchange Company in 1827 for use as a business exchange and served that purpose until after the Second World War when it was bought by the City Council. The portico features a magnificent row of huge Corinthian columns facing onto Queen Street. If you look closely you can see the difference in stone colour of the earlier mansion house to which Hamilton added a new front and back. The rear addition, which was built on the former garden, contains the main hall which has a richly decorated arched ceiling which could well distract you from the fine range of art works on display. The Royal Exchange was purchased by Glasgow Corporation in November 1949 for �105,000 to accommodate Stirling's Library and the Commercial Library.

The library opened on 30th April 1954 after a long wait for approval from the Scottish Secretary for capital funding. The library moved out in 1993, but returned in June 2002 when the basement area reverted to its former use. It now has the added attractions of a caf� and internet access which should increase the use of the building with the general public. When the decision was made in May 1992 to use the building as a gallery, the Council approved the expenditure which eventually came to nearly �10million after the unexpected costs of eradicating wet and dry rot and piling for a new lift shaft were taken into account. Clock tower of Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow Victorian view of Royal Exchange Square, Glasgow St George's Tron Church Where Buchanan Street approaches the Underground Station and Queen Street Railway Station, you will come to St Georges Tron Church. It is best viewed from George Street where you can move back and forward to gain a good perspective of the fa�ade which has interest at all the various levels. This very tall church was completed in 1809 to the designs of William Stark.

The tower shows Baroque influences at the upper tiers, without resorting too much to the elaborate decoration which usually exemplifies that style. The ground floor of the building is completely dwarfed by the tower, and features a central entrance flanked by Doric columns. Glasgow Stock Exchange, next to St George's Tron Church in Buchanan Street, was designed by John Burnet and built 1875-1877. It was extended in 1894-1898 and again in 1904 by his son, Sir John James Burnet. It was built in an usual blend of Italianate and Gothic styles. Glasgow Stock Exchange, Buchanan Street The most expensive range of shops in Glasgow can be found in Argyle Arcade which connects Buchanan Street with Argyle Street. The illuminated arcade is full of jewellers' shops from end to end, with some dazzling window displays. Exhibition drawing of Argyle Arcade, Buchanan Street, 1902 The Buchanan Street block with the central entrance to Argyle Arcade was designed by David Thomson and Colin Menzies. Their exhibition drawing, above, was displayed at the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts in 1902.

Glasgow City Chambers Queen Street leads into George Square, were you will find Glasgow City Chambers dating from 1888. The competition to design the new civic headquarters was won by the Paisley born architect, William Young. Young practised from London, but still maintained links with his native land. The extravagant Baroque inspired design features numerous cupolas of different sizes situated on all of the highly decorated fa�ades. There are also carved reliefs and statues celebrating the perceived greatness of Queen Victoria's reign over the British Empire. It is very much a building of its time, built at the height of British imperialism. The Banqueting Hall on the second floor is richly decorated with works of art and elaborate stained glass windows. Victorian engraving of Glasgow City Chambers Rear of Glasgow City Chambers, John Street, 1901 Arches at John Street connecting to rear extension of City Chambers Victorian view of George Square, Glasgow St Vincent Street Church Alexander Thomson's St Vincent Street Church, a landmark to the west of the city centre, was completed in 1859 for the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland. The constituent parts display different styles, with a typical Thomson Greek temple placed alongside an exotic clock tower which shows more oriental influences.

The windows on the four sides of the tower each feature paired sculptured faces looking in on one another. By the early 1960's Thomson's two surviving Glasgow churches had both lost their congregations and had fallen into decay. At the time when the abandoned Caledonia Road Church was destroyed by fire in 1965, the Glasgow Association of Spiritualists were occupying the St Vincent Street Church, which probably saved it from a similar fate. Glasgow City Council recognised the international significance of the world's only surviving Greek Thomson church when they acquired the building in December 1970. They saved the building from dereliction and continue to carry out repairs and maintenance in order to conserve the church as much as possible in its original state. The first prospective tenant was the Scottish National Orchestra who had expressed an interest in using the building for rehearsal rooms. The Council however preferred to let the church return to being a place of worship and rented it to a congregation of the Free Church of Scotland in October 1971.

There were proposals in the mid-1980's to terminate the lease to the Free Church and use the building as a tourist attraction in a similar way to Thomson's Holmwood House and Rennie Mackintosh's Scotland Street School. This never happened and the building still fulfils its intended function. To find out more about Thomson's architecture visit my Alexander Greek Thomson page. Elgin Place Church A purer form of Greek Revival was to be found just 100 metres away from Thomson's masterpiece in the form of Elgin Place Congregational Church at the corner of Pitt Street and Bath Street. It joined the ranks of Glasgow's lost architecture after a blaze in November 2004 which was so severe that the church could not be saved. Demolition commenced on Christmas Eve and was completed in early 2005. The Church had been used as a nightclub under a number of guises, Cardinal Follies, the Temple and, from 2002, the Shack. It was built in 1856 as an independent chapel and became a Congregational Church later in the century. It was a well known landmark principally for its jet black colour.

Unlike most buildings of the same age the stone had never been cleaned and it carried one and a half centuries of industrial grime on its outer skin. The architect, John Burnet, did not attempt to add modern touches to the ancient Greek style, and the simplicity of the building was its main attraction. The raised portico with Ionic columns led to the entrances to the body of the church and allowed the ancillary accommodation in the semi-basement to have natural light from windows along the side elevation. Glasgow School of Art A short walk across Sauchiehall Street will take you to Glasgow School of Art. Charles Rennie Mackintosh is known the world over for his unique style and the School of Art is one of the best examples of his work, showing subtle touches of Art Nouveau decoration. The building was erected in stages between 1897 and 1909. I have created a dedicated Glasgow School of Art Illustrated Guide showing this remarkable building in close detail. Decoration over doorway of Glasgow School of Art Tower of St Aloysius Church, Glasgow A short distance away from the School of Art, a fascinating contrast of turn-of-the-century architectural styles can be found in Rose Street.

St Aloysius Church, the home of the Jesuit order in Glasgow, was designed by the Belgian Architect Charles Jean M�nart, who had studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1893 to 1898. The church, which opened in 1910, features an elegant bell tower with a Byzantine styled dome, shown in the drawing above. Etching of St Aloysius Church, Glasgow Looking inside the church it is hard to believe that novel new methods were used in its construction. It was, however, one of the first churches in Britain to feature a reinforced concrete roof, although this isn't obvious from internal inspection. St Aloysius is open to the public all day, allowing visitors to view the lavish Romanesque interior. The semi-circular arched roof is centred on a huge glazed dome with additional light reaching the church from a number of little cupolas. The carefully crafted marble work and magnificent altar, below left, was created by William Vickers, who lived nearby, in Hill Street. The elaborately decorated central dome, below right, is a special feature which shows no indications of its reinforced concrete construction.

Aerial view of the cruciform shaped St Aloysius Church (bottom left) and Glasgow School of Art (top right), which were built around the same time, but in totally different styles. Renfield - St. Stephen's Church in Bath Street has the tallest spire in the city centre and although the building is situated near the bottom of Blythswood Hill, its slender tower can be viewed from a great distance. The church was designed in the Gothic style by English architect, J.T. Emmett and was completed in 1852. It has many niches on the various sides containing statues of saints, indicating that it was not originally built as a Presbyterian place of worship. It was originally shown in the Post Office Directory as an "Independent Church" with Rev. S.T. Porter as its first minister. In the 1895 Ordnance Survey map it appears as a "UP Church", the same group who occupied the nearby St Vincent Street Church at that time. It would be difficult to find a greater contrast in styles, however, than with Thomson's Classicism and Emmett's Anglicised Gothic. Until recent times the church was known as St Matthew's - Blythswood Church of Scotland.

It was closed in the late 1960's to be extended and renovated to the designs of Monro & Partners, architects. When it re-opened with its new name in September 1970, the church retained a small chapel dedicated to its previous patron, St Matthew. A severe storm on 26th December 1998 caused part of the steeple to crash through the church roof all the way down to the crypt. Repairs were carried costing over �3 million. The church re-opened with a special service on 28th September 2001. Engraving of Renfield - St. Stephen's Church, Bath Street, 1852 Mitchell Library, North Street A wee bit further west, facing the approaches the Kingston Bridge, sits one of the the largest municipal reference libraries in Western Europe. The original Baroque building (above), the creation of Glasgow architect William. B. Whitie, was opened on 16th October 1911 by the 5th Earl of Rosebery. At that time it provided accommodation for over 400,000 volumes.

This building covered two thirds of the site which had been purchased in 1904 at a cost of �14,212. The money to buy the land came from the bequest of Stephen Mitchell. Andrew Carnegie provided half of the building's construction costs which totalled �52,000. Copper-clad dome of Mitchell Library, Glasgow There was stuttering progress with the development of the remainder of the site which began in March 1939. Work was suspended by Government order in January 1942 owing to the continuing hostilities of the Second World War. Construction resumed in May 1949 and the first phase was formally opened by the 6th Earl of Rosebery on 9th April 1953. More storage space was created in the next decade, but it was an unfortunate fire in nearby premises which really led to an enormous expansion of the library's capacity. The loss of the St Andrews Halls by fire in October 1962 created space behind the library to build a huge extension which opened in June 1981.

This extension seamlessly incorporated the colonnaded fa�ade of the Halls (left) with the new structure which was clad with matching stone quarried in the North of Scotland. Following an extensive refurbishment completed in 2007 the main entrance to the library and the Mitchell Theatre is now in Granville Street, making better use of this magificent frontage. The various departments currently have a combined shelf space for over 4 million books, much of which is accommodated in 3 levels of basement stores. The additional public areas include a conference suite, theatre, exhibition space and a large area providing internet access. The library is a important resource for researchers from throughout Scotland visiting the Glasgow Room and Strathclyde Regional Archives, which are invaluable for students of local history. Engraving of St Andrews Halls, Glasgow Engraving of Mitchell Library, Glasgow Charing Cross Mansions, Glasgow J.J. Burnet's Charing Cross Mansions with its magnificent Beaux-Arts style frontage does not have the visibility it once had. It is situated at the end of the shopping section of Sauchiehall Street, which once terminated with this fine curved block overlooking the cross.

Unfortunately it has been placed into virtual obscurity, situated at a motorway interchange facing the awful Tay House which extends over the motorway blocking the view from the Mitchell Library. The many sculptures which appear on the fa�ade are by William Birnie Rhind. Art Deco detailing at Beresford Hotel, Glasgow The city centre's best example of Art Deco architecture can be found in Sauchiehall Street at the former Beresford Hotel, which has been occupied as an apartment block since late 2006. The hotel was designed and built by its original owner, William Beresford Inglis. The ten storey building was completed in 1938 at the time when Glasgow was hosting the Empire Exhibition and its daring design attracted a lot of attention as the city's first skyscraper. Rainbow in Glasgow skyline Clyde Port Authority Chambers Down by the riverside, at the corner of Broomielaw and Robertson Street stands the Clyde Port Authority's chambers which can best be seen from the south bank of the River Clyde. The main building was completed in 1886, but it is the Baroque extension of 1908 (above) which really catches the eye. J.J.

Burnet took his love of the Baroque a stage further than he had done with the Savings Bank of Glasgow, which can be seen in the Merchant City page of this web site. The groups of statues surrounding the dome feature mythological scenes of heroes and animals. Robertson Street fa�ade of Clyde Port Authority Chambers Sketch of Clyde Port Authority Chambers, Broomielaw Custom House, Clyde Street Facing the River Clyde, this building is a throwback to Glasgow's earlier history as a great trading port. It is one of the oldest buildings in the city centre, dating from 1840, although the side wings are later additions to the classical fa�ade . It was designed and built "in house" by HM Customs. Their architect was John Taylor, and this was his only Glasgow project. Early morning moon over River Clyde Broomielaw The old dockside sheds which lined the river when Glasgow was a working port have now been replaced by the ultra-modern office blocks of the city's International Financial Services District (IFSD), which originated in 2001. These early morning views of the riverside, taken from the King George V Bridge, show no trace of Glasgow's former status as a great transatlantic port.

Adina, Romania Location was excellent, friendly staff and comfortable beds! Alessandra, Spain The cheapest private room I was able to find in Glasgow, I felt I got the most I could expect for the amount of money I spent. As a hostel frequenting solo traveller I was in the height of luxury. There was coffee and tea as well as an electric kettle provided, clean linens and towels as well as soap and shampoo and conditioner daily. While my hotel room didn't have a working heater, a space heater was provided instead.

My room had a lovely view of the street and despite its small space surrounded by other rooms it was quiet and the street was peaceful as well. Overall I had an excellent stay and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a room on a budget but wanting the privacy of a room rather than a bunk.

All this would be a negative but for the fact it's cheap as chips and in a great location. You'd be hard pushed to find anywhere cheaper in as central a location so for a simple stop over its perfectly fine. Staff friendly too.

Question: St Enoch's station is/was in which British city?
Answer: Glasgow
