Too nice to stay in, but too cold to garden so had a wander round :)



The Quakers Meeting Rooms, looking at the shape of the roof next door, I was wondering if it's a Masonic Lodge?



Buckydoo Square, no idea why it's called that, it just is ok? :snork:





Old advertising on the Gables of the shops.






Town hall.



Would you buy a used car off this man? (My mate Simon :snork:)



Colmers Hill.



The Museum.

For the Football fans, goal nets were invented in Bridport by a guy watching a disputed goal, he worked at a rope factory and told his boss about the idea.

The nets for the 1966 world cup were made in Bridport.

I would love to go to Bridport for a visit, it will have to be after I go to Iceland though :love: I love the quaint look of the area, is this considered a village then? I actually live in a village and it reminds me a lot of my own area. The town hall in Bridport looks so close to our town hall, I like the columns on yours better then all the stairs on ours. The design seems similar maybe it is a particular type of building design I don't know. I wish that we had plants from the windows.

More a small town than a village, give us a shout if you'm coming over :)

Careful, booze is really expensive in Iceland :eek: :D

Wednesday and Saturday are best as they have a street market. Thursdays are early closing so most of the shops are shut :)

What a lovely little place! I would just love to have a go up on those hills with my dog and maybe shoot some photos of the town from the above!
