Description

Harford Bridge is a road bridge over the River Erme, dating from the 17th century. It is constructed of granite rubble with dressed granite arches. The bridge features two round arches with recessed arch rings, with the west arch being a much smaller flood arch. There are cutwaters on both sides, and the parapets have chamfered granite coping, which is splayed at either end over the abutments. A bridge has existed at this location since the 16th century, and some of the materials may date from that time. The bridge was repaired around 1668 or 1669, and the current structure may be a rebuild from that period. The smaller flood arch appears to be a later addition, and the bridge has been widened on the upstream side.

Local climate

Harford Bridge receives an average of 910 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 69% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 88% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 10 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 91% 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.
