Description

Mein Bridge, built by Thomas Telford in 1826, is a road bridge featuring a single shallow segmental arch over the Mein Water. It is constructed from stugged pinkish ashlar and includes channelled and graded voussoirs. There is a band course below the parapet, which is gently ramped and splayed at the approaches. The bridge has slightly battered abutments and bull-faced coping.

It experiences an average of 52 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 93% of listed buildings. Of these, 28 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.
