1845 The rebuilding of the Stockwell-street bridge (or the Victoria Bridge, as it became known) was rendered imperative by the disrepair of the old structure. Accordingly a Bill was introduced into Parliament to obtain the necessary powers, and to move the weir at this site further upstream, to a site about 140 yards above the Hutchesontown Bridge, which spanned the Clyde at the foot of the Saltmarket.
1867 A new bridge was built across the Clyde, designed by Messrs Bell and Miller, to replace the bridge that had previously been in the position leading to Hutchesontown.
The Hutchesontown Bridge was demolished in 1879
