Description

Low House Bridge is a bridge over the Clough River, likely built in the 18th century and possibly rebuilt in the late 19th century after a flood. The bridge is constructed of sandstone rubble, which is roughly coursed in the abutments and snecked in the spandrels. It features a segmental arch made of rubble voussoirs, with a thin stone slate band now topped by iron railings that have replaced the original rubble parapets, of which only the ends remain. This bridge is included as part of a group with Low House Farmhouse, a barn on the east side of the entrance to Low House Farm, and a garden shelter located approximately 50 meters south-west of Low House Farmhouse. It remains listed despite the loss of the parapets because the structure of the arch is intact.

Local climate

Low House Bridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,310 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 95% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 92% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 64 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 99% of listed buildings. Of these, 41 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.
