Description

This is a cast iron railway footbridge made by D Evans of the Eagle Foundry in Llandaff. It features two flights of parallel steps with curved balusters and newel posts topped with bud finials. The central span is at right angles and has a curved lattice parapet to accommodate the return flights. The two landings are supported by four sturdy columns with shallow capitals and fluted plinths, which rest on a raised concrete base. The risers have a zigzag pattern, and each staircase has been extended downwards by five additional steps.

Local climate

Railway footbridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,260 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 91% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 42 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 80% of listed buildings. Of these, 20 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.
