Description

Bakers Bridge is a bridge and sluice gate built around 1805, likely designed by John Rennie, with some 20th-century repairs. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring gritstone coping and curved cutwaters. The bridge has a triple span with three rebates for wooden sluice gates and coped side revetment walls. It includes narrow elliptical arches, a brick band, pilasters, and a splayed parapet on the end piers. This bridge is part of a series on the Cowbridge Drain, which was laid out by John Rennie during the drainage of the Fens.

Local climate

Bakers Bridge sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 79% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 25 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 73% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 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.
