Bridgend .... Share the Magic!
Sitting half way between Wales’ capital city of Cardiff and its second city of Swansea, Bridgend is a bustling shoppers paradise. Its reputation as a market town dates back as far as the early 16th century and through the ages, there have been tanneries, a woollen factory and local potteries in the area. A county town rich in Heritage and History where zealous pilgrims, waded the fast flowing river en route to the shrine of St David in Pembrokeshire.
Prior to 1836 the provisions market was held under the arches and on the steps of the Old Town Hall, a site now occupied by the central Post Office. The livestock market was also unhygienically held there and in the surrounding streets, even worse the slaughtering of animals, often took place right there on the spot.
The main pedestrian centre of Bridgend lies on the north bank of the river and is a shoppers paradise of old and new. Small local specialist businesses blend with large national chain stores, happily winding their way through narrow streets, co-existing side by side to make the town a perfect day out. The old Victorian market hall has gone, but the original 18th century Market Bell still hangs in the Rhiw shopping centre, near to the entrance of the new Covered Market.
