What is recorded here

Castle Street Basin Bridge spans the Monkland Canal in Glasgow City, carrying people across water that once carried coal and life. Built between the 18th and 19th centuries, it still stands as a quiet witness to the city's industrial heartbeat. Under its arches, the canal flows on, unchanged in purpose but transformed in meaning, reflecting lights instead of lamplight and memory instead of soot.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Monkland Canal, Castle Street Basin Bridge as Bridge (18th Century) - (19th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The Castle Street Basin Bridge was constructed in the late 18th or early 19th century as part of the Monkland Canal, a key infrastructure project designed to transport coal from the Lanarkshire mines to Glasgow. It is remembered as an important engineering feat that supported industrial growth in Scotland during the early Industrial Revolution.
