Shaw’s Bridge looking downstream from the towpath. With July being almost entirely without rain and August (so far) very dry the Lagan was low and the vegetation had encroached sufficiently to make a riverside view almost impossible. For a contrasting winter view see J3269 : The River Lagan in flood (4) (January 2008).

Some photographs of and from Shaw’s Bridge, Belfast.
There are two bridges, both called “Shaw’s Bridge” across the River Lagan on the Malone Road/Milltown Road. The first was built in about 1707 and was in use as a road bridge until 1977 when replaced, for motor vehicles, by a concrete structure of four lanes forming part of the Belfast outer ring road. The old bridge remains but restricted to pedestrians and bicycles.
