Description

Silver Street Bridge is a bridge over the River Cam, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1932 and constructed between 1958 and 1959. The bridge is made of reinforced concrete and is clad in ashlared Portland stone. It spans east-west over the river and features a single shallow arch. The parapet includes a moulded plinth and cornice, with six groups of four balusters and engaged balusters on either side. The south parapet extends at a right angle to create a balustrade for a flight of steps leading down to the east bank and continues further along the west bank in a gentle curve.

Local climate

Silver Street 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 82% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.
