Sale!

Sale!
Another week, another sale in Bridgwater's Fore Street, The statue is of Robert Blake who was born in Bridgwater in August 1598, the eldest son of Humphrey and Sarah Blake. His home is now the Blake Museum. Link to Admiral Blake's History, bridgwater-tc.gov.uk/history/17th-century/admiral-blake

Bridgwater is at the edge of the Somerset Levels, in level and well-wooded country. The town lies along both sides of the River Parrett; it has been a major inland port and trading centre since the industrial revolution.Wikipedia

HBM and a good week ahead, Large view is possibly best

This is quite a nice looking town centre Roger...........it's obvious it's been pretty well looked after and is clean and tidy, which is more than I can say for my town Havant :-(

The link you provided was very interesting, I've obviously heard about Blake's naval career, but little of his involvement in politics and the civil war.

I did however note from the link that corruption involving MPs and big business is not something new..!!

Many thanks Keith, some years back it was in a sorry state, then the town center, the parks, cemeteries etc were taken over by the town council and things haven't looked back, the district council was finally disappears at the end of March was never a success and was never popular in the town anyway.
