Helensburgh 1st railway station (site), Argyll & Bute
This is believed to have been the site of the short-lived first railway station (c.1857-1863) on the line which today runs to Helensburgh Central station, before the line was extended to the current terminus.
View west from George Street footbridge towards Helensburgh Central.

Lomond Street, Helensburgh
Not far ahead is one end of a footbridge over the railway line; Lomond Street continues on the far side of that bridge. The large building near the centre of the picture was employed as a drill hall during the First World War, and is currently a TA centre.
There was no building on that site when the first-edition OS map was surveyed in 1860. A long narrow building, captioned "drill hall", is marked on the second-edition map (revised c.1897). On the 1914 revision of the map, the building is much larger: it had been expanded to the south-west, and was almost square; this corresponds to its present-day appearance.

Park Church
The building, which stands on the corner of Charlotte Street and East King Street, is by John Honeyman; the foundation stone was laid in 1862, and the church opened in 1863. The interior was remodelled (1887-88) by William Leiper, the changes including a new staircase.
At one stage of its history, it was known as Park United Free Church. In Helensburgh Cemetery – http://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/8777 – there is a memorial to its minister Henry Norwell M.A. (1861-1904), who was born at Perth; the memorial was, according to its inscription, "erected by the congregation of Park United Free Church".
