Cowcaddens subway station is a station on theGlasgow Subway and serves theCowcaddens,Garnethill and Dundasvale areas ofGlasgow, Scotland. It is located on the north side of the city centre.Glasgow School of Art,Tenement House, theNational Piping Centre, and to some extentGlasgow Caledonian University are local institutions and attractions served by the station.
It was opened in 1896 and was also marginally the closest Subway stop to the main line railway atBuchanan Street railway station which was closed in 1967. Like many of the original Subway stations, the surface entrance was part of the shop unit of a tenement building. After Cowcaddens was declared a Comprehensive Development Area (CDA) in the 1960s, mass demolition of tenement slums and other surrounding buildings took place, and by 1972 the station entrance was the only structure left standing in the area.
The station was rebuilt between 1977 and 1980, including the construction of a new surface-level ticket hall and the addition ofescalators. Nevertheless, the station retained its originalisland platform configuration.
