Those aren't white lines
These marks in Horsepond Lane (formerly the Wayhure) are in fact granite markers that point to some of Bridgwater's past. In the thirteenth century the lane was a lot narrower; however, the marks are also thought to indicate the eastern extent of the former Franciscan Friary, which was here until the Dissolution in 1538.
The lane was only widened in 2008.
