NS56NE 199 NS 5842 6941.
In 1930 a steel lifting bridge, which is fixed, replaced the bascule bridge here. The bridge is at a high level and consequently the towpath continues beneath it.
The Forth and Clyde Canal Guidebook 1991.
This bridge takes the Balmore Road northwards. A little to the NE of the bridge is a 'horse barracks' or stable block (NS56NE 92), in much need of restoration.
H Brown 1997.
Originally there was a bascule bridge here, but it was replaced in 1930 by a lifting bridge. Next to the bridge was a wharf, which was used by the Lambhill ironworks, which were in operation for just over one hundred years from 1881.
G Hutton 1998.
This bridge is clearly marked on the OS Basic Scale Digital Map (2000).
