Given the interest in the current rebuilding of Glasgow Queen Street here is a BR PR&PO view of part of the station prior to a previous rebuilding. The caption simply reads 'No 1 Booking Office : Queen Street'. The photograph was taken on 23rd November 1955. The board below the advertising hoarding reads:



Tickets



Window No 6, Stations to Fife and North via Forth Bridge and Larbert



Windows 2 & 3, Stations to Edinburgh & England Lenzie Kirkintilloch Falkirk
Grangemouth Bathgate & Bo'ness



Enquiry Office, Circular Tours, Reserved Seats, Sleeper Berths, Season
Tickets



A handwritten note on the back states 'Must return Day Features' so this possibly
suggests the photo was lent out for a press feature.



The top left hand corner '1/8' suggests this is one of eight of a series of views. I only have one and two!



I also don't recognise where in the station this might be. Possibly facing the high level platforms from the west side of the station?
