Description

Stonehouse Creek Bridge is a bridge built between 1767 and 1769 by the engineer John Smeaton. The abutments were raised around 1828. In 1966, the arch was blocked, sluices were installed, and the carriageway was widened on the north side. The bridge is constructed of limestone rubble with freestone dressings and has been repaired with concrete. The south side features a central round arch with a moulded extrados, a keystone, and flanking rusticated piers. The arcading of the abutments is a result of the 1828 raising and widening of the bridge. During the 1966 widening for dual carriageways, the parapet was replaced with railings, and the north side was covered with earth. Despite these alterations, Stonehouse Creek Bridge remains a notable example of an 18th-century bridge designed by a prominent Georgian engineer.

Local climate

Stonehouse Creek Bridge 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.
