The Lost Posts
The posts of the old harbour at Bowling on the River Clyde, Scotland looking eastwards towards sunrise over the Erskine Bridge. Bowling is one of the terminus for the Forth and Clyde Canal which connects the east and west coasts of Scotland. A dry dock at Bowling was built in 1790 and enlarged in 1846 where a flourishing ship building industry was formed. From the 1840s the harbour was regularly used as a winter mooring place for Clyde steam ships. Sadly all now gone, all that is left is the rotting posts of the old wooden harbour sticking out of the water at low tide, an echo of the past.
