Description

Bradberry Balk Bridge is a bridge built around 1800. It is constructed from coursed, squared sandstone with tooled-ashlar voussoirs. The bridge features a single span with a rusticated elliptical arch and a band-rusticated ashlar soffit. The flanking abutment walls have a swept batter. There are projecting end piers that are connected by a cambered band beneath the parapet wall, which has weathered copings. Some of the copings are missing, and some have been replaced with concrete. The bridge crosses the Dearne and Dove Canal, which was constructed following an act of 1793 and opened in 1804, although the canal is now largely infilled.

Local climate

Bradberry Balk Bridge receives an average of 840 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 56% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 71% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 38 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 73% of listed buildings. Of these, 20 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.
