Description

Union Bridge is a small public road bridge over the River Irk, which is now closed. It was likely built in the 18th century or very early 19th century. The bridge is constructed of sandstone ashlar and features a single low segmental arch with plain voussoirs. There is no parapet, but iron railings are present on the south side.

Local climate

Union Bridge sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,060 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 85% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 77% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 43 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 84% of listed buildings. Of these, 23 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.
