Description
Shillingford Bridge is a bridge built around 1826, constructed from limestone ashlar with some brick. The central section features three graduated segmental arches with projecting keyblocks, which are separated by shallow pilaster strips that rise from cutwaters. Above this, there is a balustraded parapet that sits on a projecting band that follows the shape of the pilasters. The flanking sections have plain solid parapets; to the south, the parapet curves sharply outward to square piers, while to the north, it forms a long causeway with nine low plain arches arranged in groups of one, three, and five. The west face of the flanking sections is primarily made of brick. The bridge spans the River Thames.

It experiences an average of 37 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 65% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
