Description

Church Lane Bridge is a railway bridge, likely built around 1846, that carries Church Lane over the cutting of the now disused London, Brighton and South Coast Railway line from Lewes to Tunbridge Wells. It is constructed of yellow brick, featuring red brick bands and dressings, along with some stone elements. The bridge has three arches, which include impost bands and stone-dressed circular recesses in the spandrels. A corbelled band runs along the panelled and coped parapet.

Church Lane Bridge receives an average of 850 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 59% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 90% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 15 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 85% 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.
