What is recorded here

Castle Street Bridge spans the Monkland Canal in Glasgow, a stone arc built between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to carry people over working water. The canal once moved coal and goods through the city, making the bridge a busy threshold rather than a quiet scenic feature. Footsteps on its deck likely belonged to workers, children and traders who treated the water below as much a neighbour as the streets above.
