History
The station opened as Lennoxtown on 5 July 1848 as Lennoxtown by the North British Railway. It had a trainshed on the east side and a goods yard which was on both sides of the approaching line. The station's name was changed to Lennoxtown (Old) on 1 July 1867 when Lennoxtown (New) opened in the same year. This station remained open until 1 October 1881[1] when it was converted into a goods yard. More loading banks were installed where the station used to be. One siding served Lennoxmill Print Works. Goods services ceased in 1964 and the station closed completely in 1966.[2]
