Everyday Is A Schoolday

I wasn't aware of the Clyde Navigation Trust until I snapped the image in this Blip from last weekend.

An extract from Google - "As early as 1759 an Act of Parliament gave Glasgow town councillors the powers 'to cleanse, scour, straighten and improve' the Clyde between Glasgow Bridge and the Dumbuck Ford near Dumbarton. The Clyde Navigation Trust was formed in 1858, in succession to the River Improvement Trust, in order to run the increasingly complex business of the Clyde."


As far as the 'Shire then? Didn't know that.
