Stockwell Bridge, Glasgow

Bone, Muirhead, Sir, 1876-1953 · [ca. 1899–1900]

We look from the south to the north bank of the Clyde. On the left a stone bridge, of which five arches are seen, crosses the river. The quays on the northern side are lined by high tenement houses. Beyond the street to which the bridge leads a tall tower, relic of the old Merchants' House, dominates all other buildings. More to the left is the classical facade of the Fish Market. There are barges in the foreground and a steamer has just passed under the bridge. There is now a third tower above the pediment. The second tower already mentioned is partially effaced but still visible. On the mud banks to the left we see one figure to left and two to right of the boat. Four men are at work on or about the barges in the immediate foreground ; there is more work on the barges themselves and elsewhere.
