Bridport is a market town in Dorset, England, situated approximately 1.5 miles inland from the English Channel coast. The town has a rich industrial heritage, particularly known for its rope and net-making industry that dates back to the 13th century. This historical craft was so significant that the phrase "Bridport dagger" became a euphemism for hanging, as the town supplied much of Britain's rope, including hangman's ropes.
Today, Bridport maintains its creative spirit through its vibrant arts scene, regular markets, and cultural events. The town center features well-preserved Georgian architecture, while the surrounding area includes the dramatic cliffs of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The town hosts several cultural venues and has developed a reputation as a center for arts and crafts, with numerous galleries and workshops. The local museum preserves and presents the town's industrial and social history, offering insights into Bridport's development from a medieval market town to the present day.
