North Petherton bridge
As with many Somerset County Council bridges, this one has an inscribed set of coping stones - probably early twentieth century. Interestingly, Fore Street was largely demolished and widened in the 1960s and this bridge has been rebuilt with brick. Notably, the original stones were retained.

Checking the mill stream
North Petherton bridge spans the old mill waters as they pass through the middle of town. Although rebuilt many times, the spot seems to be a concern as a level monitor (the green tube) is stationed here.

The stream by the community centre
North Petherton community centre stands near the waters and St Mary's church. In the past this area was covered with crowded houses, shops and a Sunday school. They are all gone now after the road was widened and took out a lot of the old buildings (revealing Saxon remains under them). The town had yearned for a centre since the 1920s but took many years to gather sufficient sums to purchase the land. By the 1980s a caravan was put into service as a makeshift shop to raise more money. Plans by the council to build houses here were defeated and so the community centre was officially opened on 21st March, 1987, by Lieutenant Colonel Walter Luttrell, Lord Lieutenant of Somerset. Further extensions happened in 1991.

Utility marker on Fore Street
A cast iron marker (presumably for telephonic systems) remains in the ground by houses. Its use is now long disregarded but forms part of the local history. See Image] for a location view.
