Old Photograph Jamaica Street Bridge Glasgow Scotland

Old photograph of Jamaica Street Bridge, Glasgow, Scotland. The Broomielaw Bridge, designed by Thomas Telford, was opened in 1836 as a replacement for an earlier bridge. Also known as Glasgow Bridge or Telford's Bridge, it consisted of seven arches. The bridge carried traffic across the River Clyde from Jamaica Street to Bridge Street. In 1895 work began on replacing it with a wider bridge which opened in 1899. It is now known as the Jamaica Street or Glasgow Bridge.
