Some of Glasgow's most iconic bridges captured in stunning photos
It opened in 1854 on the site of the old Glasgow Bridge which itself was thought to date back to the mid-14th century. It’s now better known as a road bridge since the Molendinar was culverted over in 1877 to form a hidden part of Wishart Street. This photograph taken of the crossing place in around 1870 shows the two older bridges which existed on the site before the current bridge was built between 1889 and 1891.
For example, this image of the construction of the Canal Bridge at Cloberhill was taken in April 1930. It’s a huge 10-lane road bridge and is the instrument by which the M8 is carried across the River Clyde and through the city centre.
