The former Clydebank Riverside Station, which closed in 1965. Now converted to housing, the Category B listed building http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB22988 dates from about 1896, when it was built for the Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway (a subsidiary of the Caledonian Railway). The CR carved in the balcony stands for Caledonian Railway.

Clydebank East Riverside Station was situated on the Glasgow, Yoker and Clydebank Railway, and was a short walk from John Brown's shipyard. The ticket office - now converted into a house - is all that remains of the station.

The former shipyard - now a college - was the source of many of the passengers who used the Riverside station. The station closed in 1964, but the booking office remains and has been converted into a house.

There was no doubt where the Caledonian Railway station master lived when he wasn't on duty at Clydebank Riverside station! French windows leading out on to a balcony emblazoned with his employer's initials contrasted strongly with the plain dormer windows of the flats for the lesser staff at the station. The former station building has now been incorporated into a housing development called Cunard Court.

In Clydebank.

During the first half of the twentieth century Clydebank was well supplied with railway stations, three bearing the town's name and two others at Kilbowie being within 1000 yards of the town centre. The one shown here was opened in October 1896 by the Caledoniain Railway and further distinguished from the other two Clydebank (North British Railway) stations the following year by the addition of the suffix "Riverside". It closed in October 1964 but the building was not demolished and has been incorporated with sensitivity into a housing scheme called Cunard Court. The platform side was to the left, where the track was curving sharply round to the north to pass under the NBR line before climbing and passing over and to the south of the NBR again a mile or so to the west. The frontage to the right, alongside the road, incorporated flats for the station staff and, distinguished by having balcony with a large "CR" monogram, a house at the end for the station master.

Relatively new flats in the Clydebank waterfront area.

Category B-listed. Built 1896 by the Lanarkshire & Dunbartonshire Railway.
