Description

The Bridgetown Aqueduct is an aqueduct for the Bude Canal that spans a stream known as Tala Water. It was built around 1838 or 1839 and is made of stone rubble, featuring a renewed brick segmental arch. The parapet on the south side is also constructed of stone rubble. At the time of inspection, the narrow aqueduct was heavily overgrown, and the construction of the banks for the canal was unclear. The Bude Canal itself was opened in 1823, but the original aqueduct was destroyed by floods in 1838, making this structure a replacement.

Bridgetown Aqueduct sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,050 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 84% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 80% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 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.
