 Trowbridge
|
|
| Trowbridge,
set next to the little river Biss, the town is the county town
of Wiltshire.
Its growth was based
on the wool trade, although there was a castle here in the
12th century. The town has continued to grow with more housing
estates added on the outside of town.
One of its famous residents was Sir Isaac Pitman, the inventor
of shorthand, and his work and life is shown in the museum
The town is a regional shopping centre and has a covered
market and the Shires Shopping Centre. Although busy it has
good parking and pedestrianised streets.
If you have the time there is a town trail which highlights
the mills and the houses of the mill owners. To the east of
the town you can relax in the ancient woodlands of Green Lane
Wood.
Tourist Information Centre in the town.
