Ruined Jetty by the River Dee
On the 1882 O.S. map landing stages were recorded all along this part of the river, however this one seems to be later as it is in a slightly different position. In 1882 neither of the Queensferry bridges existed, so there was ferry traffic across the river as well commercial traffic along it. The relatively modern concrete bridge can be seen behind the jetty, and beyond that the top of the old blue bridge can be seen.

Track by the River Dee
According to the 1882 O.S. map this track and footpath was once a rail line, which ran from a colliery at 'Big Mancot' out to a jetty on the edge of the River Dee. Presumably the line carried coal from the colliery out to vessels waiting in the river.

Queensferry Land Drainage Pumping Station
This pumping station is adjacent to the A494 just before it crosses the modern concrete bridge at Queensferry. The road is on the right, and is rising as it heads towards the river, behind the camera. The riverside footpath comes away from the river to this point, turns left to avoid the stream outflow, and then returns to the river bank.

The Modern Queensferry Bridge
A view of the modern Queensferry Bridge from the Riverside footpath. It is constructed from steel girders and a concrete base, with concrete piles sunk into the river bed. Subject to all the necessary approvals, it is intended to build another bridge alongside to increase capacity.
