Description
Hug Bridge is a road bridge over the River Dane, built in the early 19th century, and constructed from red ashlar sandstone. It features one broad segmental arch with a plain rectangular band backing the voussoirs. Originally, the bridge was half its current width, but it has since been expanded into two connected structures of identical design, secured together with rods and circular plates made of cast iron. The south abutment has buttresses that end in plain semi-circular pilasters that support the parapets. There are also two large, low buttresses on the east side of the abutment.
Local climate
Hug Bridge sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,000 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 65% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 49 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 91% of listed buildings. Of these, 28 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.
