NS66SW 966 c. 6000 6377

For successor and present King's Bridge (NS 60006 63771), see NS66SW 901.

Extends onto map sheet NS56SE.

The first bridge here was a wooden bridge 15m (50ft) wide built in 1901 with timbers from the dismantled service bridge used during the reconstruction of Glasgow Bridge [NS56SE 458] in 1895-9.

E Williamson, A Riches and M Higgs 1990.

This bridge formerly carried King's Drive (a public road) across the River Clyde between Glasgow Green (to the E) and Hutchesontown (to the W). The river here forms the boundary between the parishes of Glasgow (to the E) and Govan (to the W).

The location assigned to this record is derived from that of the present bridge.
