Late on a cold and dull January afternoon, The gull on the very top is almost a perminant resident. The Cornhill has always been the historic centre of the town. In 1779 an Act was passed to erect a market house and several houses were demolished to create the necessary space. Before long, it was enlarged and that work was completed in 1826 when the Cornhill dome was built by a local man called Hutchings. Then in 1875 “a handsome and commodious Corn Exchange” was added and it is that building which we recognise today, bridgwater-tc.gov.uk/history/around-and-about-the-town/the-cornhill HBM and a great week ahead, a large view for detail.
