Description

The Boatman Inn is a public house located dramatically below the Royal Albert Bridge. It features a front that dates from the mid-19th century, while its core originates from the 16th century, as indicated by a datestone from 1595 that is now incorporated into the shortened south gable. The building is two storeys high and constructed of stucco, with the ground floor having a channelled appearance. It has a balustraded parapet and two plain sash windows. The central entrance is highlighted by a doorpiece with a cornice. The left corner of the building has been sliced back to accommodate modern windows, and the interior has been altered.

Local climate

The Boatman Inn sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 990 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 89% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 9 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 91% of listed buildings. Of these, 3 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.
