This Is My Glasgow

I love this view of James Miller's 1897 Caledonian Mansions standing high above the River Kelvin on the West End of Glasgow. On the left you can see where a train track once led to the old Kelvinbridge Railway Station, marked by an iron girder, which was connected to this building. This station closed in the 1950s.

@thisismyglasgow They could take a private train straight from their house? That would be wild.

@Axomamma Kind of. The building as originally constructed by the train company that built the railway line as station accommodation (for visitors), so there was access from this building to the station below. 👍🙂
