Bridport is an industrial market town on the west Dorset coast
which has played a pivotal role in the region's hemp and flax
industry for over 700 years. The industrial heritage of this town
is not widely known outside the area and very little has been
published on the regional and national significance of Bridport.
Hemp and flax was traditionally grown locally and used for the
production of cordage, netting and sailcloth: this industry
expanded from the 18th century onwards with the construction of new
mills and warehouses along with the continued use of traditional
rope and twine walks, creating a highly distinctive range of
building types.
