Description
Freiston Bridge is a bridge built around 1805, likely designed by John Rennie. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with gritstone coping. The bridge features a three-arch span with elliptical brick arches, which are divided by pilasters on projecting rounded cutwaters that have rounded gritstone tops. There is a brick band along the parapet, which has slightly splayed ends. This bridge is part of a series of bridges over the Hobhole Drain, created by John Rennie during the drainage of the Fens.

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.
