Description

Albert Bridge is a road bridge over the River Irwell, built in 1844 by G W Buck. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar and designed in a classical style. The bridge features a single span with a segmental arch, voussoirs, pilaster terminals, and a moulded stringcourse beneath each parapet. Each parapet has a raised panel at its center, and cast-iron lamps are positioned on top of the parapets.

It experiences an average of 43 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 81% 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.
