The Rope Walk

Bridgwater is a seaport situated on the tidal estuary of the river Parrett, and has been involved in ship building for centuries. Rope making was an important part of shipbuilding and the town had at least 6 rope walks,,,,,,, HBM.

This is the site of the last boatyard in the town and the final launch was in 1907 with the ketch IRENE,

She is still in sail and details for anyone interested, www.nationalhistoricships.org.uk/register/469/irene

A test for pedestrians if they're drunk or not? ;-) Well, in case they are, there are plenty of benches for resting :-))

HBM and have a great week, Roger. Interesting story though, more so than my silly idea ;-))

Hi Roger
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition, but I remember reading somewhere that London? had to get rid of some path like this because cyclists followed the wavy line and crashed!!
Best Wishes, Happy Monday, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!

That looks like a lovely place to walk Roger..........especially at this time of year, when the autumnal colour is kicking in!

You've captured this scene beautifully and in super detail. The "rope" of course makes a splendid leading line!

Excellent work my friend. Have a good week..!!
