Description

The Former Tramroad Bridge is a single-arched structure made of coursed rubble sandstone. It features a round arch with carefully shaped voussoirs and quoins. The abutments are slightly flared outward. Above the arch, there is a shallow string course. Originally, the bridge did not have a parapet, but timber posts and iron rails have since been added.

Local climate

Former Tramroad Bridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,190 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 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 18 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 83% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 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.
