Originally there was a bascule bridge here carrying Clevedon Road over the canal. It was replaced by a brick built culvert in 1968 after the canal has closed to traffic. The current bridge replaced this in the 1990s in preparation for the re-opening of the canal in 2001. The sign for Kelvindale Station (on the Anniesland to Glasgow Queen Street line) is on the right. In the distance on the left is one of the two remaining gas holders from Temple Gasworks, which are Category B listed http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB52443.
