Description

Baber Bridge, located on Staines Road, is a road bridge built in 1798 by the County of Middlesex. It is constructed of pink-grey stock brick, with lower courses made of yellow sandstone. The coping on the parapet and the date-stone are made of Portland stone. The bridge features a single arch, with the inner arch and the lower part of the south elevation rendered.

Historically, a timber bridge known as the Beaver or Baber Bridge is recorded as early as the late 13th century. The current structure was rebuilt in 1798 after the original was found to be unsafe. Baber Bridge carries the road from Hounslow to Staines and is a notable example from the significant period of road improvements.

Local climate

Baber Bridge 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 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 86% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 29 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 67% 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.
