Canoes, Shaw's Bridge, Belfast (1)
The Lagan, at Shaw’s Bridge, has facilities for canoeing. This group of adult canoeists has used the small slipway, just upstream of the bridge, for launching. See also J3269 : Canoes, Shaw's Bridge, Belfast (2).
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.
