Bridge over the Forth and Clyde Canal
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.

Forth and Clyde Canal [46]
The Govan Cottage Bridge carries Cleveden Road over the canal. It was originally a bascule bridge and was later culverted. It remained culverted until 1997. The construction date of the current bridge is not known.
The Forth and Clyde Canal was completed in 1790 and it provided a route for vessels between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde at the narrowest part (35 miles, 56km) of the Scottish Lowlands. Closed in 1963, the canal became semi-derelict. Millennium funds were used to regenerate the canal. The main line of the canal is a Scheduled Monument with details at: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/SM6773
