Description

Bridge Number 47 is an early 19th-century bridge located on the Grand Union Canal in Gayton. It is constructed of painted brick, featuring brick and stone coping, and has been patched with blue brick. The bridge has elliptical arches and is designed as a twin bridge, meaning it serves as a road bridge that is doubled to the south by a turnover bridge for the towpath crossing.

Bridge Number 47 sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 77% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 38 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 71% of listed buildings. Of these, 18 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.
