Glasgow central Station was built in the 1870's with the concourse and booking hall completed in 1882, the height of the fashionable Victorian era. It is full of architectural details. The roof is a ridge and furrow design and the Gordon Street entrance has stunning ornate pillars.
The clock is, by far, the most noticeable and popular feature. It has been Glasgow's number one rendezvous point for decades. The original four-faced clock, which was 15ft high with elegant wooden framework and a lead-sheathed cupola, was replaced in 1962 by a new modern model suspended under the girder roof. Finally, a replica of the original was put in place in 1992, receiving the applause of the people of Glasgow.

Welcome! I am an Artist/Photographer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. My interests are wide and varied and this is reflected in my subject matter. I enjoy finding the beauty in even the most mundane subjects and the challenge of depicting the small details which are sometimes overlooked. Where possible, I research my subjects to give me a better understanding, which in turn allows me to adapt my approach to each one. I do not restrict myself to any particular style or media as this gives me the freedom to create my vision on each individual piece. I hope you enjoy browsing my galleries as much as I have enjoyed creating the works. Copyright © Yvonne Johnstone 2024. All rights reserved. All artwork in this gallery is original and uniquely...
