Paisley East was an unopened railway station in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland. == History == The station was originally part of the Paisley and Barrhead District Railway. The line was opened in 1897 and used for freight until the 1960s but none of the stations opened for passenger travel. As can be seen on the linked map,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1923 map of area. The station is the black square in the centre above Glasgow Road (yellow). )〕 it was situated on the north side of Glasgow Road on the site of what became the Kelburn cinema, now the Kelburn Retirement Flats near the Sherwood Church. From the station to Seedhill Road, the line ran down Lacy Street along a very high wall. The station was first turned into a garage 〔Canadian Railways Magazine (1955)〕 then demolished in 1928.〔Smith (1993)〕 However, the branch continued into Paisley East goods at Cecil Street crossing Lacy Street at street level.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Seedhill Road bridge showing routes to goods yard and closed line to Paisley East Norris Forrest 1960. )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1951 excursion emerging from coal yard crossing Lacy Street GH Robin. )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Train in coal yard 1949 GH Robin. )〕 The branch from Blackbyres junction to Paisley East goods closed on 31 December 1960. The location of the station and the goods yard can be fixed today (as of 2009) because John Lyon's coal shop was still there (at 52 Glasgow Road) with a lion sculpture above the entrance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Lyon's coal shop entrance 2008 )〕 The shop is now a hairdresser's salon. The station was directly opposite at the other side of Glasgow Road.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Google satellite )〕 A rail tour operated by the Stephenson Locomotive Society on 1 September 1951.〔Seller and Stevenson〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Photographs of only passenger train journey in 1951 )〕 started at Paisley East Goods at Cecil Street and made its way to Barrhead South.〔The Railway Magazine〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paisley East railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
