Description

Packhorse Bridge is a 17th century structure, possibly with earlier origins, that has been restored with much of its parapet rebuilt in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of dressed ironstone and features two pointed arches. There is a central pier with a large cutwater on the upstream side and a stone tiled buttress on the downstream side. Below the parapets, there is a string course, which has been largely renewed. The string course on the downstream side is inscribed with the initials TH 1740 and WA 1722, which may indicate graffiti or repair dates. The string course is missing over the left arch on the upstream side.

Local climate

Packhorse Bridge 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 77% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 73% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 38 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 73% 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.
