Description

Brent Mill Bridge is a road bridge over the River Avon, dating from the 17th or 18th century. Originally a pack-horse bridge, it was widened on the north side around the 18th century. The bridge is constructed of granite rubble with dressed granite arches. It features a large round main arch and a smaller flood arch to the west, both of which have recessed arch rings. The parapets are topped with chamfered granite coping. There is one later cutwater on both the upstream and downstream sides, with refuges in the parapet above. James Green, a country surveyor, recorded the bridge in 1809 as it appears today, suggesting that the widening likely occurred in the 18th century while the original structure may date back to the 17th century.

Local climate

Brent Mill Bridge receives an average of 890 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 66% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 87% 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.
