Description

Dolphinholme Bridge is a bridge built in 1791, constructed from sandstone ashlar. It features a single segmental arch with alternately projecting voussoirs and has two pairs of end piers. Below the solid parapet, which has shaped coping, there is a string course. On the upstream side at the northern end, one of the voussoirs is inscribed with 'S. Law 1791'. The soffit of the arch displays many masons' marks.

Local climate

Dolphinholme Bridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,340 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 96% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 51% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
