J R Hume 1974.

To the W of The Lynn (NS55NE 133). an iron bridge of c. 1835 spans the Cart in one elegant arch. It is apparently a one-piece casting, and is the oldest complete iron bridge in the city.

E Williamson, A Riches and M Higgs 1990.

This bridge crosses the White Cart Water within Linn Park and to the WNW of the Mansion House NS55NE 133. It apparently carries the road or drive that formerly gave access to the house from the entrance (NS 57870 59046) on Netherlee Road.

The bridge is depicted but not noted on the 1953 edition of the OS 1:1250 map.
