Description

White Rails is a late 18th century building located on Boroughgate in Appleby in Westmorland. It is constructed of red sandstone ashlar and features a moulded cornice and plinth. The right side of the building projects forward and includes one window on each storey both at the front and on the side, topped with a hipped roof. The main front section has four windows on the upper floor and three on the lower floor. There is a square-headed doorway with a rectangular fanlight above it. All openings in the building are hollow-chamfered.

White Rails sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,200 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 82% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 57 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 96% of listed buildings. Of these, 36 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.
