Description

Alverstone Bridge is an early 19th-century bridge constructed of tooled ashlar stone. It features one large round-headed arch on the south side, which is supported by stone voussoirs and a keystone. There is a smaller similar arch on the north side. It has been reported that there are two additional small arches to the north, but these were concealed under nettles at the time of the survey. The bridge has a parapet made up of three courses with triangular-headed ashlar coping, and there are three square piers with pyramidal caps on each side.

Local climate

Alverstone Bridge receives an average of 800 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 54% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 87% of listed buildings.

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.

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.
