Built 1720s

Built 1720s
Georgian houses on the north side of Castle Street, Bridgwater from a slide circa 2000?, was built in the 1720s and are now Grade 1 listed Buildings, A shot it is impossible to take today as parked vehicles continually block the view .

The buildings are made of red and yellow Flemish-bond brick, with moulded stone coping to the parapet, and follow very similar lines. They form an important group, unusual for their scale and ambition outside London's West End. (Wikipedia),

Awaiting the arrival of new hardware, So I am using older images from my Chromebook and just enough fence to qualify, hopefully.

Thank you, David, It was at this time a very busy port with four Shipbuilding yards and flourishing brickyards with products sent all over the world., so merchants could afford properties like these,

The less fence the better in my humble opinion Roger :-))

This is a lovely architectural image..............the buildings look lovely and considering this is taken from a 20-odd year old slide, the detail is very impressive.

Nice one sir!

It's had a boost from the photo editor,
It was taken across the river, which must have been the flat out for the camera.
