Glasgow - Prince of Wales Bridge - Kelvingrove Park
In 1868, a timber bridge — painted to resemble stone — was constructed on this site by City Architect James Carrick to carry the future King Edward VIII and his Royal Procession over the Kelvin on the way to lay the foundation stone of the new University buildings on Gilmorehill. This original “temporary” bridge survived for a quarter century until it was replaced by the splendid red sandstone and granite crossing of 1894-95. Designed by City Engineer Alex B McDonald, the new “Prince of Wales Bridge” has a single elliptical arch spanning 12 meters over the Kelvin flanked by the city's coat of arms carved in the spandrels. Atop the Peterhead granite balustrades are the remnants of elaborate castiron lamp brackets.
