Thanks Bridge Trust Bideford Bridge © Louise Howell Buzz would like to thank Bideford Bridge Trust for their continued support, and generous grant to us in October. Without this donation we would find it hard to continue. To quote from an article written for Buzz by Peter Christie in 2014: ‘You may be surprised at what the Trust does – certainly, without its benign presence in the town, Bideford and its surrounding area would be by far the poorer. If you wish to know more about the Trust and its history there is a small booklet entitled ‘The Long Bridge of Bideford through the centuries’ available from Walter Henry’s in High Street or the Burton Art Gallery and museum.’ (and Bideford Library). The following articles about the Trust by Peter Christie are all available on our website at the following links: Bridge Trust http://bidefordbuzz.org.uk/2013/11/more-about-the-bridge-trust/ http://bidefordbuzz.org.uk/2014/01/more-about-the-bridge-trust-2/ Bideford Bridge goes to War http://bidefordbuzz.org.uk/2012/11/bideford-bridge-goes-to-war/ http://bidefordbuzz.org.uk/2013/01/bideford-bridge-goes-to-war-part-2/ http://bidefordbuzz.org.uk/2013/02/bideford-bridge-goes-to-war-pt-3/ http://bidefordbuzz.org.uk/2013/03/bideford-bridge-goes-to-war-part-4/ There are also bound copies of back numbers of Buzz at Bideford Archives if you prefer the paper version.
