Tidal Weir
There have been many arguments by engineers throughout the years for and against a weir on this part of the Clyde,which is a short walk upriver from the famous Bromielaw.
The first tidal weir was completed in 1901,it lasted until 1941 when its foundations gave way.
The present steel weir was completed in 1949 [Engineer FGM Stoney] the weir carries large diameter pipes across the Clyde,but its main purpose is to maintain upstream water levels.
