Rope Walk (PiPs)

Rope Walk  (PiPs)
Taken at East Quay, Bridgwater on a lovely sunny day. The Rope Walk runs alongside the River Parrett to the town centre, the rope design snaking along the pavement, commemorating the ship building heritage of the town and associated rope making industry.

The last ship to be built in Bridgwater, by F J Carver & Son was the 100 foot ketch the Irene, built in 1907, and she is still sailing today.

I have added a track called 'The Long and Winding Road' by Paul McCartney as a nod to the winding of the rope trail

and as a tribute to 'The Irene' here is Eric Calpton with 'Goodnight Irene'

A beautiful walk lined with flowers. I didn't know the Eric Clapton song has some country chords. I have been able to read that the Irene was abandoned and even suffered a fire and restored two other times. A true survivor.
