Remains of a bridge
The bridge pier that can be seen standing here in the River Kelvin is commented on in the Canmore database: https://canmore.org.uk/site/277656/glasgow-maryhill-caledonian-railway-bridge-over-river-kelvin For a closer look, see Image As shown on the first-edition OS map (c.1858) — https://maps.nls.uk/view/74479332 —, the bridge that stood here led from a Bridge Street, which was located just north of present-day Maryhill Locks, on the east side of the river, to a point just south of Dawsholm Printworks on the opposite side of the Kelvin. It was, at that time, a road bridge. There would later be a railway viaduct here, crossing the Kelvin at the same place, but at a different angle; the piers in the picture are presumably from that later viaduct. Alexander Thompson, in "Rambling notes and random recollections ... of Maryhill, 1750-1894" (pub. 1895) appears to refer to the earlier road bridge as "the old bridge" in noting that "the Glasgow road passed down what is now Bridge Street, across the Kelvin, at first by means of a ford, afterwards by the old bridge, and thence through Dawsholm Printfield to a part called the Leechfauld, and continued across what is now part of the Garscube policies ..."
