Kelvin Hall

As part of the economic redevelopment of Greater Glasgow promoted by the Scottish Development Agency and local authorities to enhance the city's tourist infrastructure and to attract further national and international conferences, the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre was designed as the Hall's successor for exhibitions and entertainments, built in 1983 and opened on the nearby Queen's Dock in 1985 with an exhibition area equal in size to the Kelvin Hall but with the benefit of extensive car parks and land for other complementary buildings.The Hall is protected as a category B listed building,[1] and is served by city bus services and by Kelvinhall subway station.The new structure was designed by Robert James Walker,[5] the leading architect of the Scottish Exhibition of National History, Art and Industry of 1911 held in Kelvingrove Park.From 1918 and 1919 until the Hall was destroyed by fire in 1925, British Industry Fairs and various exhibitions, were held, also flower shows, circuses and carnivals, with the surpluses being paid into the Common Good.The Glasgow Museum of Transport was located in the Kelvin Hall from 1988 to 2010, attracting up to 500,000 annual visitors to its many exhibits of national and international importance.
