Description

The Walling of Dolphin Quay is a section of the medieval quayside that was extended to its current position around the 14th century. It is constructed from large stone from that period and measures approximately 60 feet in length. This structure is part of a group that includes Nos 30 to 34 (even), Dolphin Quay House, a gas lamp, and bollards.

Walling of Dolphin Quay sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 87% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 67% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 8 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 94% of listed buildings. Of these, 4 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.
