Grain arch

This picture may not be the greatest but it tells a living history of Glasgow. This is one of two grain stores underneath the tracks of Central Station. From the early 1900s trains would stop above the arch where a door opened and the grain dropped through the arch. Men with horses and carts would then take the grain away to be processed for food.
This archway literally fed Glasgow.

There was another two coal arches that heated the city.
