Description
Town Bridge is a road bridge built between 1806 and 1808 by John Rennie, which was largely rebuilt in 1913 by John Webster. It features cast-iron and ashlar construction. The stone bases from 1807, which have plain paired pilasters, still remain. The bridge has a single span with an elliptical arch made of cast-iron from 1913, and it includes a decorative openwork parapet with pierced roundels. The location of the bridge was slightly moved south from the sites of 18th century and earlier bridges, and a new street named Bridge Street was created in 1807.
Local climate
Town 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.
