Description

Frome Bridge is a 19th-century road bridge that carries Watery Lane over the River Frome near Woodsford in West Dorset. The structure is made of red brick with stone coping and is supported by three arches, which feature cutwaters.

Both the upstream and downstream sides of the bridge are similar, each having cutwaters with hipped tops and three arches made of brick headers. A projecting brick band with a chamfered top separates the lower part of the bridge from the parapet, which is also constructed of brick and has large stone blocks for coping that are flush with the brick walls. The wing walls at either end of the bridge are angled.

Local climate

Frome Bridge receives an average of 810 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 51% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 77% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 12 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 89% of listed buildings. Of these, 4 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.
