Description
Jubilee Bridge is a bridge built around 1887 in Barrow in Furness. It is constructed of rock-faced red sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a brick-lined soffit. The bridge has a single span that carries the road over the course of Dane Gill Beck. On either side of the segmental arch, which has two chamfered orders and a hoodmould, are abutment piers. The spandrels below the ashlar offsets and parapet are made of snecked walling and are pierced by trefoils, with a blind central trefoil that includes an insignia. The abutment piers end in a parapet that has rectangular dies topped with pyramidal caps. The wing walls curve out and down, stopping at small stumps. Abbey Road was widened and realigned at this location before 1895, and the bridge likely commemorates Queen Victoria's golden jubilee of 1887.
Local climate
Jubilee Bridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,670 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 99% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 19 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 80% of listed buildings. Of these, 8 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.
