Description
Shaugh Bridge is a road bridge over the River Plym, originally built in the 17th century, with its arches rebuilt in 1825. It is constructed of granite ashlar and features two spans with a central pier that has cutwaters on either side. The impost is located at the springing of the arch on the pier and abutments. The bridge was rebuilt above with very shallow segmental arches, and it has parapets with rounded coping and stringcourses. The original arches were destroyed by floodwater caused by a sudden thaw during the winter of 1823-1824.

Shaugh Bridge sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 980 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 78% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 80% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 19 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 81% of listed buildings. Of these, 8 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.
