PlaceName and dates
Clyde BridgeOpened on the Clyde Iron Works Railways.
Description
This bridge carried a line from the private railway network serving the Clyde Iron Works (on the east bank of the River Clyde) to the west bank where it served a coal pit and then continued south to join the Clydesdale Junction Railway at an east facing junction. A circle of lines were formed by these mineral lines, making a connection to the main line at Dalmarnock.
The bridge, shown on the Ordnance Survey maps of 1860, was removed by 1890s, possibly long gone.
