Old photograph of Anchor Mill and Hamills waterfall on the River Cart in Paisley by Glasgow, Scotland. The River Cart is a tributary of the River Clyde, which it joins from the west roughly midway between the towns of Erskine and Renfrew and opposite the town of Clydebank. The River Cart is very short, being formed from the confluence of the Black Cart Water, from the west, and the White Cart Water, from the south east, and is only 0.75 mile long. The River Cart and its tributary the White Cart Water were navigable as far as the Seedhill Craigs at Paisley; and, as with the River Clyde, various improvements were made to this river navigation. In 1840 the Forth and Cart Canal was opened, linking the Forth and Clyde Canal, at Whitecrook near Clydebank, to the River Clyde, opposite the mouth of the River Cart. The aim was to provide a direct link between Paisley, Port Dundas, Edinburgh, and the Firth of Forth.
