Description
Moss Bridge is a public road bridge that crosses the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, likely built around 1771. The resident engineer for this project was John Longbotham, and it was constructed for the Leeds-Liverpool Canal Company. The bridge is made of coursed squared sandstone and features a semi-elliptical arch with plain voussoirs and a keystone. It has a plain band and parapets that have been repaired with concrete, along with plain pilaster terminals. There are oval number plates marked "35" on both sides of the bridge. This structure is part of one of the earliest trunk canals in the country.
Local climate
Moss Bridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,160 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 90% 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 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 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.
