Scope and Content The Falshaw Bridge, The Colonies, Glenogle Road, Stockbridge, Edinburgh The Colonies, a small development of eleven parallel terraces, was planned in 1861 beside the Water of Leith on the north side of Glenogle Road by the Edinburgh Co-operative Building Company in an attempt to provide artisan housing at a modest cost. At the west end of the development, Glenogle Road crosses the Water of Leith by the iron Falshaw Bridge, built in 1877 by the engineer, David Proudfoot. The structure was renewed in 1956 with pre-stressed concrete beams. The Falshaw Bridge, named after Lord Provost Falshaw who opened the bridge in 1877, replaced an earlier wooden footbridge beside an ancient ford across the Water of Leith at the west end of Glenogle Road.
