About


Co-founder of Our Town Story. If you have any questions about the site, or wish to provide feedback, please visit the Admin forum and post in the appropriate place - we'll do our best to help you out as quickly as we can!

We really want Our Town Story to be an album for your old photos, to fill in the gaps in the history books of our villages, towns and cities. We would also love for those pictures to be able to help others - for instance by using reminiscence therapy in treating dementia

We're still a work in progress, and we appreciate all suggestions and observations!

Image Details

This image appears to be of the fixed bridge that replaced the manual drawbridge. The drawbridge remained open for lengthy periods, causing enormous traffic congestion, and ultimately, the whole quay was filled in.

This image is taken from 'Where to Buy at Yeovil. An illustrated local trades' review.', published in 1891.

Hint: Drag the orange pegman to see the Streetview image...

This image appears in the galleries for the following locations:

Ashton Gate
