Next, we come to rail Scott with a, which is a resource detailing all sorts of information about railways in Scotland. And we see on the front page, there's all sorts of latest news coming in. There's users uploading photographs, and so on lots of resources about railways in Scotland on this site and if we type in Springburn and search as we're looking at the area of Springburn, it will come up with all sorts of stuff 48 photographs, through time 1950s 1960s and so on to locations when We're gonna look at here is Springburn and this is actually a station Springburn station, which was near Cal as works just off the Edinburgh and Glasgow railway line, we see five pages of photographs of the station and so on.

And we can also see on the right hand side all the nearby railway resources all the nearby railway activities. So if we click on Atlas works for example, it will give us the history of the works. Hide part works here we go taken over 1888 and renamed the Atlas works 1903 became the new North British locomotive company liquidated in 1962 demolished now To cite those photographs solely for that one, we click on Hyde Park quirks that will give us information about the works 1861 built next to a branch of the Edinburgh and Glasgow railway. Again in 1903, it became part of the North British locomotive company. Further information their financial difficulties led to liquidation in 1962, demolished in the 1980s and then became the headquarters of Stowe college. And that later morphed into Springburn college, then North Glasgow college.

And that was North Calvin College, and also seems to be a business central site as well. Some photographs there but not much. And if we look into some relics, this is going to give us a lot more information. There's a lot of information Available about Rolex. There we have the history of Rolex works I clicked on the wrong thing they were looking at. So here we have the history four pages of photographs established on the bank of the Muslim canal.

Next isn't relics chemical works on the line of the Ganga and Glasgow railway created by the Caledonian Railway, who had who were leasing the Ganga and Glasgow railway. And the works developed from there, and as we go down, we can see what was in the works. taken over by British Railways in 1948 1969, came under British Rail engineering limited Braille and various private operators from 2002 on woods. The derelict parts of the site were cleared in 2001. And the supermarket's built that I mentioned earlier. One office building survives and Rolex house.

Okay, so that's rail Scott, lots of information about rail resources and rail locations in Scotland through the ages and it also does extend into some English sites as well.
