Edit Parkhead Railway Station 1952
PARKHEAD Railway station served the east end of Glasgow for much of the last century.
Opening in the early 1900s it was renamed ParkheadStadium in 1952 because of its proximity to Celtic's ground.
The station was situated in a cutting overlooked by what is now called Whitby Street but which was then known as Winston Street in honour of Winston Churchill.
In July 1914 King George V, Queen Mary and their entourage disembarked here for a royal visit to Beardmore's Parkhead Works.
It was a victim of Beeching's rail reform and closed in the late 1960s. In 1989 it was filled in and landscape

Wow fantastic photo and never knew that fact thank you for sharing. Was brought up in Dalton Street in the 60's so we do live and learn.
