Regent Bridge

This photograph, looking south east from Regent Quay, shows the old Regent Bridge located at the bottom of Marischal Street.

As shown here it could swing open to allow ships to enter and exit the Upper Dock from Victoria Dock.

The bridge was later replaced by a steel framed swing bridge operated from Regent Bridge House located at its south west end on Jamieson's Quay. The new bridge opened on 29th December 1904. An account of its construction can be read in the Aberdeen Journal of that date.

In the background of this image is HMS Clyde, a Navy Reserve Ship for the training of cadets.
