Scope and Content Kelvinhaugh Wharf, Kelvinhaugh Ferry, Glasgow, from east This view from the east, taken in 1979, shows one of the small, diesel-engined, double-ended ferry boats leaving the Kelvinhaugh terminal. The crewman has just untied the mooring rope. To the right are the transit sheds of the Anchor Line quay at Yorkhill, and in the distance are the Meadowside granaries. The establishment of this ferry coincided with the start of the development of Yorkhill Quay, built partly on the site of the Kelvinhaugh Slip Dock. The decline of trade in the upper Clyde docks led to the closure of this, the last of the pedestrian ferries, in the early 1980s. As Glasgow Harbour expanded in the 19th and early 20th centuries the Clyde Navigation Trust provided a number of passenger and vehicular ferries, as bridges were impractical. The Kelvinhaugh Ferry was one of the last pedestrian ferries to be established, in about 1900. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
