D Boyce 1996.
This bridge carried a footpath across the River Kelvin within the area of Kelvingrove Park (NS56NE 328) and to the NE of the Kelvingrove Museum (NS56NE 329). The river here forms the boundary between the parishes of Govan (to the N) and Glasgow (to the S).
The location cited is derived from the outline plan drawn by Boyce.
