Fine composition and wonderful light in these superb images, an unusual bench built from Bridgwater bricks which is very apt as they were one of the main exports from these docks when they dealt with sea going ships.

Bring you cushion !!!! HBM Carol

2 years ago.

Ecobird ^club has replied to Xata ^club

Thank you Isabel. It is only 5 minutes from home so probably don't need to sit and rest here. A cushion is definitely recommended for other visitors though!!

As Roger said there were brickyards all around the town and Bridgwater brick was well known, the bricks being brought to the docks for distribution by boat. The brick benches are a link to the past

Xata ^club has replied to Ecobird ^club

Interesting to know the reason for building the bench in brick! Obrigada Carol

2 years ago.

Ecobird ^club has replied to Xata ^club

Thank you Isabel. Roger's stepfather was a foreman on one of the brickyards and their house was on site. Roger often rode up and down in the back of the lorries as a child so it is all very familiar to him

Thank you very much Guni. I am pleased you like it. On a good day everything seems bright and clean and the reflections can be beautiful. It is probably better thatn when the boats are in the dock, although I do miss them

Herb Riddle ^club

That's a grand seat Carol. Almost looking like a leather Winchester chair. A big contrasty scene here which must have been nice to stroll around in.

HBM, enjoy the rest of the week. Herb

2 years ago.

Ecobird ^club has replied to Herb Riddle ^club

Thank you very much Herb. There are a couple of these brick benches here, a nod to the brick making industry that Bridgwater was known for, and they were shipped from the docks here for years.

It is only minutes from home fortunately and a good starting point for a short walk

Enjoy your week

Thank you Markus. Made from Bridgwater brick that was once a major industry in the town with many brickyards in the town and surrounding area. They were shipped out from the docks so a nice link with the past. Now if we were also famous for making cushions that would make the benches more comfortable!!!
