Old Photograph North British Railway Station Princes Street Helensburgh Scotland

Old photograph of a horse and carriage and people outside the North British Railway Station on Princes Street in Helensburgh, Scotland. The station was opened in 1858 as the terminus of the Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway and is located in the centre of the town. The GD&HR was taken over by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway company in 1862, which in turn was absorbed by the North British Railway three years later. The route became part of the London and North Eastern Railway at the 1923 Grouping and then the Scottish Region of British Railways at nationalisation on 1 January 1948.
