This bridge was replaced by the new Queen Margaret Bridge (on what is now Queen Margaret Drive) in the 1920s and much of it was demolished in the 1970s, leaving just the stone piers on which it rested.

The remains of the original Queen Margaret Bridge over the River Kelvin in Glasgow. This cast iron bridge was built in 1870 by John Ewing Walker to provide access between the new neighbourhood of Kelvinside (now referred to as North Kelvinside) which he was developing and the main thoroughfare of Great Western Road on the other side of rhe Kelvin.

My other hobby right now is searching out old metal bridges to take pictures of. My oldest son and I have been driving all over #michigan and #ohio looking for these old bridges to photograph.
