1906 Erskine Bridge

Erskine Bridge - taken after work at about 18h20 - quite dark actually - rain clouds threatening all the time . . .

There's gold in them thar hills - well maybe not but by God they are green . . . - looking towards Dumbarton - photo taken in a small industrial area . . .???


I am in Old Kilpatrick - almost underneath Erskine Bridge - a toll bridge 60p each way until not that long back . . . - sometimes closed to traffic when there are heavy winds about 500 / 600 feet high - above the Clyde - looking up/down river (not sure which would be correct terminology) towards Dumbarton


Now there used to be - I am told a ferry which ran across the Clyde and here is evidence - can clearly see the slips on either side must have been a few minutes and you'd be over - but of course the bridge has put an end to that - looking across at Erskine
