St. Vincent Street
St. Vincent Street, is a major thoroughfare in the city centre of Glasgow, Scotland. It was formed in the early 1800s as part of the New Town of Blythswood developed by William Harley of Blythswood Square. The street runs westwards from George Square and Buchanan Street until it meets Argyle Street at Finnieston/Sandyford in the city's West End.
St. Vincent Street was named to commemorate the victory of Sir John Jervis, on 15 February 1797, off Cape Saint Vincent. The Street crosses Glasgow's main shopping street, Buchanan Street just west of George Square. Further west it also crosses over the M8.
Some of the notable buildings on the street are the St Vincent Street Church, the North British And Mercantile Building, and the National Commercial Bank.
