Albert Bridge

Albert Bridge, built 1870-1 to replace a bridge of 1829-33 (£48,900). A three-span cast-iron arch bridge, with stone piers. There are eight ribs per span, with the Glasgow arms in the spandrels of the outer ribs. The contractors were Hanna, Donald and Wilson, Paisley.

Quite an ornate bridge but in a serious need of restoration. Number 5 in my exciting bridges across the clyde series.
