Description

Haystacks Bridge is a public road bridge built in 1794 for the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, designed by engineer Robert Whitworth. The bridge is constructed of ashlar stone and features a single segmental arch made of rusticated voussoirs, along with a band and solid parapet. The curved abutments terminate in piers. Currently, the arch is blocked, and the bridge has been dry since 1817, when a new flight of locks was constructed at Greenberfield.

Haystacks Bridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,270 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 89% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 52 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 93% of listed buildings. Of these, 30 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.
