See J3268 : The River Lagan in flood (3). At Shaw’s Bridge (looking upstream) the Lagan, with a good suspension of mud, had the appearance of liquid chocolate. J3269 : Shaw's Bridge, Belfast (2) shows the river and bridge in more normal conditions. For a contrasting dry-summer view see J3269 : Shaw's Bridge, Belfast (2013) (August 2013).

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.
