Description

King's Bridge is a Grade II* listed structure located on the northeast side of High Street. It was built on medieval foundations and features two stone spans with stone voussoirs and a stone parapet on one side. The bridge is dated 1734, which is inscribed under the parapet. A stone also notes that the bridge was widened by 10 feet in 1769. King's Bridge is part of a group that includes the Public Library and Museum at Beaney Institute, nos 20, 20A, 21, 24, and the bridge itself.

It experiences an average of 14 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 87% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 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.
