![Remains of a bridge. The bridge pier that can be seen standing here in the River Kelvin is commented on in the Canmore database: https://canmore.org.uk/site/277656/glasgow-maryhill-caledonian-railway-bridge-over-river-kelvinFor a closer look, see [[2057268]].As shown on the first-edition OS map (c.1858) — https://maps.nls.uk/view/74479332 —, the bridge that stood here led from a Bridge Street, which was located just north of present-day Maryhill Locks, on the east side of the river, to a point just south of Dawsholm Printworks on the opposite side of the Kelvin. It was, at that time, a road bridge. There would later be a railway viaduct here, crossing the Kelvin at the same place, but at a different angle; the piers in the picture are presumably from that later viaduct.
