Description

Wrightington Bridge is a public road bridge that spans Wrightington Pond. It was built in 1778 and widened in 1927. The bridge is constructed from sandstone ashlar and features three segmental arches on each face, with the middle arch being larger. Each arch has a moulding around the extrados, and there is a sunken boss in each spandrel. The balustrade slopes upwards towards the center, accompanied by a moulded cornice below. The end piers have sunk panels. During the widening, a new flat road deck was added, and one facade was dismantled and rebuilt. The bridge was previously designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument but was removed from the schedule on January 9, 2015.

Local climate

Wrightington Bridge sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,130 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 89% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 85% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 65% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.
