Description

High Bridge is a road bridge from the early 19th century, with the designer unknown. It is constructed of local red sandstone and features a single arch that supports a single track, creating a hump-backed carriageway. The arch is segmental and consists of a single arch ring, which is topped by a string course. A second string course indicates the base of the parapet and shows a change in the stonework, with ashlar below and snecked stone above. The parapet is finished with chamfered coping. This bridge is a good example of an unwidened early 19th century style road bridge.

Local climate

High Bridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,160 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 83% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 55 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 95% of listed buildings. Of these, 32 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.
