Description
Martin Lane Bridge is a public road bridge that crosses the Leeds-Liverpool Canal. It was likely built in the late 18th century or early 19th century, possibly replacing an earlier swing bridge. The bridge is constructed mainly of large squared sandstone blocks, featuring a parapet made of coursed squared rubble. It has a semi-elliptical arch with plain voussoirs, four circular tie-plates positioned above the arch, a plain band, pilaster terminals, and parapets topped with flat coping.

Martin Lane Bridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,220 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 93% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 16 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 84% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 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.
