Description
Linn Park Bridge, built between 1811 and 1820, is a single-span ornamental cast iron bridge that crosses the White Cart Water in Linn Park, Glasgow. The bridge measures 13.12 metres (43 feet) in length and 3.66 metres (12 feet) in width, featuring a semi-elliptical depressed arch made up of four iron ribs spaced 1.22 metres (4 feet) apart. These ribs are supported by rectangular frames secured with bolts and square nuts. Each rib is adorned with a decorative Greek frieze, pierced saltire lattice-work, gothic spandrels, and distinctive 'ha'penny' roundels.
The bridge is set on sandstone abutments and has simple parapet handrails, also made of cast iron. In the 1950s, a concrete deck replaced the original 19th century timber deck, and the abutments were extended in the 1960s. In 2016, the southwest abutment was replaced, and the bridge was restricted to pedestrian use.
