Yes: rated Regional (record 41400605).
Can you visit The Blue Bridge?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
When was The Blue Bridge built?

Is The Blue Bridge protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
