EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, St Enoch Square in Glasgow plays host to a grand visit by the Prince of Wales in 1876. The new railway station, a marvel of Victorian engineering, stands proudly in the background, its ornate architecture a testament to the industrial prowess of the city. The Prince, dressed in formal attire, is seen stepping out of a carriage, greeted by a crowd of eager onlookers. The scene is one of excitement and anticipation, as the people of Glasgow come together to welcome their royal guest. St Enoch Square, named after the early Christian Saint, has a rich history that predates the railway station. The square was once the site of a market, where farmers from the surrounding countryside would sell their produce. However, with the arrival of the railway, the area underwent a significant transformation. The new station brought with it a wave of development, and the square became a hub of activity, with shops, hotels, and other businesses springing up around it. The visit by the Prince of Wales was a significant moment in the history of the station and the city. It marked the recognition of Glasgow's growing importance as a major industrial and cultural center. The photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of history, that continues to resonate with the people of Glasgow to this day. The station, now a popular transport hub, remains an integral part of the city's fabric, connecting it to the rest of the country and the world beyond. This photograph, taken in 1876, is a reminder of the past, a window into a bygone era. It tells a story of a city and its people, of progress and change, of history and tradition. It is a snapshot of a moment in time, a moment that continues to shape the city of Glasgow and the lives of its people.
