Fore Street, BRIDGWATER, TA6 6PZ

Queen Street stretches off the main road to join with Clare Street and on towards North Street. However, in the past Queen Street was called Back Lane and where it met Clare Street then became Pound Lane - as the animal pound was there. A benchmark can be found on the corner of the Victorian brick house - see Image

The junction of Fore Street and School Lane has a small unbuilt space, with a bench for passers by. In the past this would have been houses and shops but they have been cleared. Interestingly, there are three plaques on the seat: one marks the seventieth anniversary of the Women's Institute in 1997, one marks the 1st North Petherton Scouts work in creating the garden in the Scouts' movement's centenary in 2007, and the last commemorates Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee.
