About Fencing in Highbridge
Highbridge in Somerset grew up around a wharf on the River Brue that was already in use as part of a drainage scheme for the Somerset Levels overseen by the monks of Glastonbury, and the Glastonbury Canal opened here in 1833 to move goods further inland. Rail links followed quickly, with the Bristol and Exeter Railway arriving in 1842 and the Somerset Central Railway connecting through from Glastonbury in 1854, after which Highbridge Wharf handled a steady exchange of cargo with South Wales and other Bristol Channel ports, sending out dairy produce and bringing back coal. The town grew into a regional market and industrial centre through the Victorian era, with the livestock market, the wharf and the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway works among its main employers, though the works closed in 1930 and the wharf closed to shipping altogether in 1949 once it proved too small for newer vessels.
