What is recorded here
Castlepark Circle in Irvine, North Ayrshire, holds a footbridge whose age and purpose remain unrecorded. The structure spans a distance now lost to memory, yet its stones or metal still carry the weight of footsteps long gone. Perhaps it linked a private garden to a public lane, or crossed a watercourse that no longer flows. The circle beneath it suggests movement, a turning point where journeys bent and lives intersected before forgetting the bridge entirely.
