Description

New Bridge is a road bridge built in 1834 and restored around 1980. It is constructed of red brick with cast iron strengthening and ashlar dressings. The bridge features a large central segmental skewed arch, flanked by outer cast iron arches on either side. An iron plaque inscribed with the date 1834 and iron bosses securing tie rods are located within the arch. On either side of the bridge, there are curved ashlar cutwaters, above which are pairs of plain Doric pilasters with chamfered caps that match the coping of the parapet. The abutments have smaller shallow skewed side arches, also with ashlar cutwaters, but these have refaced brick facades.

Local climate

New Bridge receives an average of 740 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 75% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 73% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 36 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 64% of listed buildings. Of these, 18 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.
