By the 1700s it had gained a reputation for ropemaking and the population depended for their livelihoods on rope and twine making at the village mill, or growing flax and hemp in nearby fields. Rope walks were set up near the mill pond and outbuildings. Cottages, a dairy and a brewery were built. A school was opened in 1870 as well as a girls’ hostel, however, the advent of manmade fibres forced the ropery to close in 1955, after which the village was deserted and the buildings became derelict until the village was regenerated in the early 2000s. The original property is well restored and new homes were built in a sympathetic local style. The result is a unique riverside village development within very easy reach of Bridport town centre and a broad range of amenities.<br/><br/><b>Services</b> - All mains services. <br/>Broadband - Standard up to 0.5Mbps and Superfast up to 20Mbps.<br/>Mobile phone service providers available are O2 and Vodafone for voice and data services inside and EE, Three, O2 and Vodafone for voice and data services outside. <br/>(Broadband and mobile phone information taken from Ofcom website Results are predictions and not a guarantee.
