The Old Court, 41 West Street, Bridport
Grade II Listed building with 1844 datestone. Joseph Gundry and Co. Ltd. (manufacturers of fishing nets, lines and twines) was established in 1665 and are shown in directories at West Street since at least 1842 and presumably had the Court built. There is no evidence of power supply and it seems that the building was probably a warehouse, workshops or office. Certainly in 1766 an insurance valuation describes him as a twine spinner, sailcloth maker, maltster and brewer and shows utensils and stock of hemp and flax in his warehouse near West Mill, probably the previous building shown here on early maps. In 1963 united with Bridport Industries Ltd. they became Bridport-Gundry Ltd at the same time extending the Court Works northwards. Amsafe seems to have grown from Bridport-Gundry in 1979 and certainly latterly used the 'Old Court' as offices. Amsafe stopped using the building in October 2010 and it was reported that 'Bridport Antiques 15 months refurbishment of the Old Court in West Street was completed for the opening in April 2017'. Sales particulars for the flats tell us they were 'converted to a very high standard by Lighthouse Land and Developers Ltd in 2017'.
