See NS55NW 146.00 for history and description of Gorbals Gravitational Waterworks

This set of steps have been built on the Flood Water Course as part of the 1883 repairs (information from drawings entitled 'Gorbals Works Repairs on Flood Water Course 1888' and 'Gorbals Works Plan of Embankment of Waulkmill Glen Reservoir 1864) courtesy of Scottish Water). They mark the end of the Flood Water Course and the continuation of the Brock Burn. The design is similar to the Littleton reservoir outlet (NS55NW 146.29).

Infomation from Jelle Muylle, engineer carrying out survey of sites and structures of Gorbals Waterworks for RCAHMS, Historic Scotland funded, December 2007.
