Description

Bow Bridge is a road bridge dated 1769, constructed of ashlar stone. The downstream side features a central round-headed arch with a keystone and a decorative band. The parapet consists of three courses of tooled ashlar with a moulded cornice, supported by two square piers topped with pyramidal caps. The upstream side has a similar arch but boasts a larger parapet, also made of three courses of tooled ashlar and a moulded cornice. At the Newport end, there is one pier with a pyramidal cap, although the caps are missing from three other piers. A plaque on the parapet wall reads, "Erected in the year 1769 to Newport Quay."

It experiences an average of 7 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 95% of listed buildings. Of these, 3 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.
