Bridgwater & the River Parrett

Bridgwater & the River Parrett
Bridgwater & the River Parrett

by Rod Fitzhugh.

In this book, Rod presents an invaluable record of the heyday of trade on the river when the prosperity of much of Somerset was dependent on access to the sea. From 1200 to 1971 when Bridgwater docks finally closed, the river was a trading route for cargo.

First published in 1993, this revised and updated edition brings the history of the River Parrett up to date and introduces some fascinating photographic records.

Soft back. 160 pages. 16.4cms x 23.5cms approx. Illustrated with black & white photos.
