Singer Station, Clydebank

Singer Station, Clydebank
Constructed in 1907, Singer station took its name from the huge Singer sewing machine factory that it was built to serve. The station is located on a section of track that was realigned to make space for the factory. In addition to this station (still in use today), the original station, which was titled Singer Works, and previously called Kilbowie Road (Old), once boasted six bay platforms for the many workers' trains that ran there. Regular works trains ended in 1963 and the bay platforms, and indeed the factory, have long since gone. Quoted from Wikipedia

Good shot and information Joe. As a sewer myself, I have always appreciated the beautiful old singer sewing machines. I see many for sale and they make very little. My sister-in-law uses an old singer machine as she prefers it to the electric ones.
All the best, Rosa.

It is the destiny of many stations and railway lines to develop and then progressively decay ..... however, there remain testimonies of the economic and social history of a region.
All the best
