Boot's chemists in Bridport
I think it is as important a job of the Geograph project to show ugly features as attractive ones, so here for your viewing pleasure(?) is Boot's at the junction of East, West and South Streets, Bridport. A fairly ordinary shop front you may think, but it is right on the town's main road junction and its ill-proportioned, stark and to my mind ugly facade dominates the view up South Street. (It can unfortunately be seen in some other geographs of this grid square). It is not the worst shopfront in Bridport - see my picture of the Oxfam shop, if you dare... The beautiful Colmer's hill Image, another major Bridport landmark, is largely concealed behind the traffic light, although part of Quarry Hill Image is visible. One noteworthy point is that if you stand at a point a bit further west from this viewpoint you are right in the centre of town but can see open country to the East, West and South.

11 West Street, Bridport
Grade II Listed 18th century building. Now apparently part of the TSB bank next door, all I can determine was that 1911-1915 it was the private residence of Walter Daniel Aldridge.

TSB Bank, 9 West Street, Bridport
Grade II Listed mid 19th century bank. It is interesting that R & H Williams is inscribed over the door as R & R Williams, Thornton, Sykes & Co., established 1786 in Dorchester, was taken over by the Wilts & Dorset Banking Company in 1897 who were taken over by Lloyds in 1914. In 1995 Lloyds merged with the Trustee Savings Bank and traded as Lloyds TSB Bank plc between 1999 and 2013. From directories, 1842-1844 the only bank on West Street is Williams, Cox & Co. (draw on Williams, Deacon & Co. London) but in 1851 Robert & Herbert Williams, also drawing on Williams, Deacon & Co. By 1855 it is listed as Dorchester Old Bank (branch), Robert & Herbert Williams but in 1889 Dorchester Old Bank & Dorsetshire Bank (R & R Williams & Co.) In 1911 not surprisingly it is listed as Wilts & Dorset and in 1915 Lloyds Bank Limited (Wilts & Dorset Bank branch). The banks Lloyds' archive have listed is R & R Williams and Wilts & Dorset, no R & H. If R & R was established in 1786 why is it not mentioned until 1889? Did R & R take over R & H 1855-1889? However this all suggests that 9 West Street was built by R & H between 1844 and 1851. 7 and 11 either side of the bank are of very similar design to each other and I wonder if No.9 is a mid 19th century alteration on what was an 18th century building.

Bridport: West Street fa?ades catch the sun
Against a threatening sky (which turned out to be a false alarm before a sunny afternoon), the frontages of West Street – including the town's main post office – catch the sun rather strikingly. In front of them, the town market is taking place – this happens every Saturday on both sides of East, West and South Streets, giving pedestrians the chance to experience the congestion that is frequently seen by traffic on those streets.
