Opened in 1892 as "Bridgeton Cross" by the North British Railway, this station was the terminus for the Glasgow & District trains from the north of the city. It was on a short branch line from High Street station. It was renamed "Bridgeton Central in 1954 and then became "Bridgeton" in 1965. It closed to passengers in 1979 (when it was replaced by Image) and completely in 1987. View north east at the main building, which had become a convenience store when this image was taken. Behind it, the platform area has been redeveloped and is now housing.
