Maryhill railway station
Maryhill railway station

Maryhill railway station is a railway station serving the Maryhill area of Glasgow, Scotland. It is located on the Maryhill Line, 4+3⁄4 miles (7.6 km) northwest of Glasgow Queen Street, a short distance east of Maryhill Viaduct and Maryhill Park Junction. It has two side platforms. Services are provided by ScotRail on behalf of Strathclyde Partnership for Transport. Maryhill was previously the terminus for the eponymous line when it reopened by British Rail in 1993 - the original 1858 Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway "Maryhill Park" station on the same site (also the junction for the former Kelvin Valley Railway and the Stobcross Railway to Partickhill & Queens Dock) had been closed back in October 1961 by the British Transport Commission although some workmen's trains continued until 1964 after which it was subsequently demolished. Since 2005 the service has extended to Kelvindale and Anniesland to connect with the North Clyde and Argyle Lines using a reinstated section of the former Stobcross Railway line that had previously been disused since 1980 (when the signal box that formerly controlled the junction was seriously damaged by fire) and then subsequently closed & dismantled. This extension was built to remove the need for terminating services from Queen Street to run empty through to Knightswood North Junction near Westerton in order to reverse before returning to Glasgow - a process that occupied the busy junction there for several minutes whilst the driver changed ends and crossed over from one track to the other. Ending this procedure allowed more trains on the North Clyde Line to pass through the junction, freeing up paths for services from the rebuilt branch line to Larkhall on the south side of the city to run via the Argyle Line through to Milngavie.

Maryhill Burgh Halls
Maryhill Burgh Halls

Maryhill Burgh Halls is a local heritage site located in the Maryhill area of Glasgow, a few miles North-West of Glasgow city centre. Maryhill Burgh Halls was initially opened in 1878 as a municipal building complex, which served as a police station and fire station until the 1970s. The complex fell into disuse and disrepair especially towards the late 20th century, and plans for its demolishment were proposed. However, as a result of local campaigning, the decision was taken to restore the complex and for it to be used as a community resource. Repairs, selective demolition, restoration, and development work took place between 2008 and 2011. The halls re-opened in April 2012. Maryhill Burgh Halls is run by the Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust. The Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust was established in 2004 and is community led. Volunteers form a major and vital component of the Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust. Volunteers carry out a variety a roles within the Trust including the day to day running of the Maryhill Burgh Halls and forming a majority part of the Board of the Trust. The Maryhill Burgh Halls provides for the community office spaces, hall spaces to facilitate the hosting of events of various kinds, and a museum and exhibition space. The museum and exhibition space hosts artefacts and exhibitions relating to local heritage, local history, and other themes of interest. Various organisations operate from the Maryhill Burgh Halls including an architecture company, an accountancy firm, a local housing association, a children’s nursery, and the constituency office of the Member of the Scottish Parliament for the area. When the halls initially opened, it contained twenty stained glass windows depicting individuals carrying out various trades and occupations that could be found practiced within the local area. The windows were produced by the studio of Adam and Small and were specially commissioned for the complex. Today, the halls has eleven of the original windows on display. The remainder are stored within the collections of Glasgow Museums. Along with the eleven original panels, another ten stained glass panels are on display that were produced by artists Alec Galloway and Margo Winning around 2015. Each of the ten panels depicts a different theme of modern Maryhill. The themes depicted were chosen from suggestions given by over two hundred members of the community.
