Description

Vardon Bridge is a bridge over the River Bollin, built in the late 18th century, with a parapet added in the late 19th century. It is constructed from pink sandstone ashlar. The bridge features a single segmental arch that springs from water level, flanked by simple pilasters. There is a slightly projecting course at road level, and each pilaster has a curving wing wall that ends in a plain column. Above these elements is a plain parapet with a rounded coping.

Local climate

Vardon Bridge sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,030 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 83% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 68% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 44 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 86% of listed buildings. Of these, 24 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.
