Description

Town Bridge is a bridge over the River Wey, built in 1782 by Mr. Gwilt and widened in 1930. It is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings. The bridge features five shallow round arches with shallow, triangular ashlar cut-waters. There are two semi-circular pedestrian retreats on pendant ashlar bases flanking a central corniced ashlar plaque, which is illegible. Blind oculi are located between the outer arches, and there is an ashlar band with a moulded cornice. The parapet has flat ashlar coping, and the end pilasters are topped with 20th-century iron lamp-standards that have decorative braces, although the northern lantern has been removed. The side walls slope down to the end piers.

Local climate

Town Bridge receives an average of 740 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 74% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 56% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 37 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 66% 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.

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.
