Description

Irthing Bridge is a road bridge over the River Irthing, likely built in 1729, with later alterations made for the Brampton - Longtown Turnpike Trust, which was established in 1807. The bridge is constructed of dressed red sandstone and features three arches supported by two piers with splayed cut-waters. It has a humped back and is designed for single track width.

Irthing Bridge sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,070 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 86% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 78% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 50 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 92% of listed buildings. Of these, 27 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.
