    The Quakers Meeting Rooms, looking at the shape of the roof next door, I was wondering if it's a Masonic Lodge?

    Buckydoo Square, no idea why it's called that, it just is ok? :snork:

    For the Football fans, goal nets were invented in Bridport by a guy watching a disputed goal, he worked at a rope factory and told his boss about the idea.

    The nets for the 1966 world cup were made in Bridport.

      Final useless footballing fact for 2014:

      The ball didn't actually hit the net in the third goal during England's 4-2 victory over Germany.
