Description

This railway bridge was built between 1828 and 1830 for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, designed by engineer George Stephenson. It is constructed of stone and features a round arch with a parapet above. The abutments are swept forward, with coping that slopes down to short round piers topped with caps. There is also a round-arched extension to the south.

Local climate

Railway Bridge sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,050 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 84% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 71% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 22 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 77% 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 0.2°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.
