Walls by Night, pip

The Parish Church of St Mary, more commonly known as St Mary's, is the main Church of England parish church for the town of Bridgwater, Somerset. The majority of the structure dates from the 14th and 15th centuries. With a height of 174 feet (53.04 m), the spire is the tallest medieval spire in the county. See pip. HWW !

Brick & Tile Kiln

Bridgwater Brick & Tile Museum in an analogue image from 2008, Local clay formed into Red Bricks and roof tiles were fired 5000 at a time in a constant temperature for four days then left to cool for another four days. At one time there were 1,300 brickyard workers in Bridgwater with products shipped all over the world, This trade kept the local wharves and quays and public houses extremely busy. 16 of these yards with up to 6 kilns each were dotted around the town, HWW !!!!

Archive image from the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal

These shoring timbers were installed in 1968 following a partial collapse of the walls in the cutting, the collapsed section can be identified by the different coloured blocks to the left of the cutting. This image was taken in 2008 thirty odd years after the 1970 style housing blocks were built, and shows the Albert Street bridge in the distance. Boats continued to sail beneath the timbers, which gave a minimum clearance of 8 feet
