About Fencing in Bridport
Bridport in Dorset built its fortunes on rope and net making, an industry dating back to 1211 when King John commissioned huge quantities of hemp rope for the navy, and cemented under Henry VIII, when it was ordered that all cordage for the English fleet be made in or within five miles of the town. The trade flourished for centuries, supplying nets to the Newfoundland fishing industry and later becoming official supplier to Wimbledon in the 1870s, a legacy still reflected in the wide, rope walk style streets that run through the town centre.
