Description
Tamerton Bridge is a road bridge that spans the upper reaches of the River Tamar. It was built in the mid-19th century, likely soon after 1847, when the medieval bridge was reconstructed following a flood in July of that year. This is a County bridge, probably designed by W Pease, the County Surveyor. The bridge is constructed of slate rubble with granite dressings and features a single span with a wide segmental arch made of dressed granite voussoirs and a keyblock. There is a granite stringcourse and a parapet with granite coping, and the abutments are slightly advanced at either end.
Local climate
Tamerton Bridge sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,070 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 86% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 91% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 13 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 87% of listed buildings. Of these, 5 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.
