Venue: Usually at Bridgwater Library but please call or email to confirm.
Dates: 1st week of the month
Times: Tuesday Morning
History2’s interest is focused on Bridgwater history, the town itself, its buildings, notable people - some of whom were famous and some ordinary. Naturally there is reference to greater events of national and international importance when relevant.
Recent topics include Bridgwater Castle, the Docks, the Workhouse, Saint Mary’s Church and Bells, Bridgwater in World War II, the Concrete House, the Duke of Chandos - to name but a few.
Members are encouraged to comment in our discussions and can contribute whatever they may know on any Bridgwater subject, some of which may be local hearsay! After all, some of us have lived here awhile or know local residents.
We do not take a historical timeline but go where our interest takes us - a relaxed approach although we are aware at what point in town history our topics slot. As we provide our own speakers, it is hoped that members will lead a discussion from time to time on a topic of their own interest.
