Kelvinbridge is the common name of the Great Western Bridge, a cast iron road and pedestrian bridge located in the West End of the city of Glasgow, Scotland, built to carry the Great Western Road (A82) at a high level across the River Kelvin. Completed in 1891 by Bell & Miller, it replaced an older stone bridge (completed 1840), and has a similar design to the Partick Bridge crossing the same river, located a short distance to the south-west. It has been a Category A listed structure since 1986

These old Grinding Stones and some broken down walls are all that is left of the Flint Mill that once stood here in Kelvingrove Park. It was operated by Kidston, Cochrane & Co of the Verreville Glassworks who imported flints which were ground and turned into paste blocks for the production of glass and glazing tiles, it operated for many years but was eventually demolished in the 1960s. The church in the photo is the Kelvin Stevenson Memorial Church opened in 1898 which sits next to the Belmont St. Bridge opened in 1870, all part of Old Glasgow.
I went searching for the source of the Orinoco yesterday teatime. I never found it but I did stop to admire the classic view of John Honeyman's Landsdowne Church from the River Kelvin walkway beneath Kelvin Bridge.

Glasgow Subway train at Kelvinbridge station, in June 1963.
The line was originally cable-operated, and was converted to electric traction in 1935. It was completely rebuilt and modernised in the late-1970s, with new trains, and reopened to passengers in 1980.
Several of these cars have been preserved, and some of these are at the new Glasgow Riverside Museum. One was stored in the depot, but this has now moved to the Bo'ness and Kinniel Railway.
Today (2023) the station has been 'modernised', with brighter paintwork, and a tiled surface on the platform.
Restored from a very under-exposed orange-colour-shifted original..

A new piece of street art by Rebel Bear ‘No Fly Zone’, Great Western Road, Glasgow. If you look above there’s what seems to be the word ‘listen’ which I think has come from some old advertising, the gable end location high up would have made it a good spot and there are faded painted borders in the walls. #rebelbear #streetart #streetartist #streetartphotography #wallart #wallartwork #wallartist #glasgow #glasgowwestend #westendglasgow #kelvinbridge #noflyzone #ghostsign #ghostsigns #glasgowghostsigns #ghostsignsofglasgow
