Description

The former Hafod Copperworks river quay is a tall structure made of dressed sandstone, featuring flat stone copings. It runs straight for most of its length, beginning at its junction with a modern concrete river wall to the north and ending with a right-angled return near the southern end. This return was specifically designed to enable vessels to pull back from the river current. Additionally, there is a smaller return before a raised stop at the southern end of the quay.

Local climate

Former Hafod Copperworks river quay sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,400 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 97% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 21 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 78% 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.
