Description

Mill Bridge and Basin is a bridge and associated basin built around 1820, with the designer unknown. The bridge is made of sandstone and features a parapet and kerb, while the basin has a brick surround and cast iron railings. The low single-span bridge has radiating voussoirs and channelled rustication on the spandrels. It has a stone parapet on the east side and railings on the west. The basin to the west is enclosed by cast iron railings from two phases, set into a York stone kerb, with a brick and cement-lined facing below. On the north side of the basin, there are a pair of arches divided by a cut-water; the taller arch to the north has a keystone, while the lower brick arch is only visible at low water.

Both the bridge and basin are part of the Isleworth Mill River, also known as the Duke of Northumberland's River, which is a 16th-century mill stream. A mill once stood on the west side of the basin over the arches. This bridge was constructed at the expense of the Duke of Northumberland in 1820. It is a fine example of Neoclassical masonry and, along with the basin, represents a significant remnant of Isleworth's industrial history.

Local climate

Mill Bridge and Basin sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 90% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 64% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
