Original Lagan towpath, Shaw's Bridge, Belfast - June 2019(1)
The original Lagan towpath, looking towards the boathouse. The official description of the listed bridge includes this “There was formerly stone towpath ramps down from the upstream/W and downstream/E ends of the bridge to a towpath which ran from Belfast to Lisburn. All traces of the E ramp were removed when the new road bridge was built in the 1970s . . . . Although overgrown vestiges of the W ramp survive, access to its top end is now blocked by a rubble stone wall, whilst access from the bottom is likewise hindered by a recently-built boat house”.

Shaw's Bridge, Belfast
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.
