About Fencing in Bideford
Bideford in Devon grew into a significant port from the 16th century, importing tobacco from the American colonies and shipping goods across the Atlantic, with pottery from local kilns often carried as ballast on the outward voyages. The town's Pannier Market building dates from 1884, though markets have been held on the site since 1272, and its long medieval bridge across the River Torridge remains one of Bideford's most recognisable landmarks.
