Saw this last week, it's the original, not the present version.

Reviving this thread as I have searched but cannot find an obvious place to post.

Pictures taken in the gap between Central Station and the Cat House club in Union Street.

The difference in build quality is obvious. I would love to relate the location to the fantastic photographs showing the construction of Central Station and the Arches elsewhere on this site. Especially the one showing the presumably(?) forcibly truncated houses.

On the north side of the pic you can just make out a couple of buildings which still survive in the Argyle St stretch between Queen and Buchannan Streets, namely the white one which is/was Clarks and the one directly west of it which would become one of the Cranston Tea Rooms in later years.


Who built the original building that housed John Anderson's Royal Polytechnic, later lewis's.

Just in case anybody's interested British Railways Illustrated magazine is running a two
part feature on the Glasgow Central Railway this month and next month. Some good
pics of Central LL and Glasgow Cross stations, well worth buying if this is your thing, not
the usual rubbish, this months feature is about 6 or 7 pages long
