Description:
This 18th century elevation drawing shows a bridge between Alloa shore and Coalhill titled 'Sketch of a bridge waggon roa[d]. 80 yards to be supported'. It depicts a roadway of planks laid across trestle type frames or couples. Notes in a different ink to the title and less tidy, although possibly written by the same person, give detailed measurements. The roadway was to be 5 foot wide of 5 inch planks laid over couples placed 9 foot apart. This is probably the waggonway built from the colliery in 1768. During the 18th century several short wagon ways were built at collieries, the earliest being built at Tranent colliery in 1722 and others along the Clyde in the 1750's.
