The bridge crossing the Forth and Clyde Canal at Bainsford was originally a bascule bridge. In 1905, it was replaced by a heavier swing bridge to accommodate the new tramway. This in turn was replaced with a non-opening road bridge. Originally a separate village, it has now become part of the town of Falkirk.
