Blue Plaques

Blue Plaques
Just a few of the large number of blue wall plaques around the historic port of Bridgwater, (5 pips)

Bridgwater is a historic market town and civil parish in Somerset, England. And is at the edge of the Somerset Levels, The town lies along both sides of the River Parrett; it has been a major inland port and trading centre since the industrial revolution. Most of its industrial bases still stand today,

The town is mentioned both in the Domesday Book and in the earlier Anglo-Saxon Chronicle dating from around 800, owing its origin as a trade centre to its position as the main port on the river.

A large view for details please HWW!

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you, Keith as traditional industries closed the town fell into the doldrums for a few years, however the new power station and energy park have given new impetus and the area has been re-energised!
It sure has a long and interesting history !

I love the English method of using blue plaques. Wish we had it here. Yes, we have notices about historic things, but the blue and the consistency of the blue plaques is a really nice thing.

Great grouping.
