Description
Brightley Bridge is a road bridge over the Okement River, likely incorporating some fabric from the 16th century and partly rebuilt in 1858. It is constructed of stone rubble with dressed granite voussoirs and coping stones, featuring three arches that are probably widened on both sides. The arches on the south side are segmental, while those on the north side are slightly 4-centred. The north (downstream) side has reconstructed flat cutwaters, whereas the cutwaters on the south (upstream) side are triangular and may be original. The bridge has straight parapets with swept out abutments.
Local climate
Brightley 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 75% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 26 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 72% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 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.
