Description

Deepdale Bridge is a road bridge that likely dates from the mid-16th century. It was widened to the west, and its parapets were rebuilt in the late 18th century or early 19th century. The bridge is constructed of squared stone with tooled dressings and features arched parapet coping. It slopes upward from north to south and has a single segmental arch with a triple-stepped design on the older east face. On the west side, there are broad flanking pilasters that extend upward as pedestrian refuges, along with a band located below the parapet.

Local climate

Deepdale Bridge receives an average of 950 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 73% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 53% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 54 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 95% of listed buildings. Of these, 34 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
