Description

Marlow Bridge is a river suspension bridge built between 1831 and 1836 by William Tierney Clark, who was a pupil of Thomas Telford and an assistant to John Rennie. The bridge features iron chains supported by a pair of stone Doric triumphal arches set on rusticated piers. The iron railings along the wooden footways are topped with contemporary "Palm Tree" heads. Clark is also known for designing other bridges, including those at Hammersmith and Budapest, although the Hammersmith bridge has since been destroyed. The bridge underwent substantial restoration in 1956-1957, resulting in much of the ironwork and chains being replaced, but its appearance has remained unchanged. Part of the bridge is listed as 1/60 for the former Urban District of Marlow, now included in Wycombe District in Buckinghamshire.

Local climate

Marlow Bridge sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 84% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 87% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 37 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 69% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.
