Trowbridge is the county town of Wiltshire located on the river Biss, approximately 8 miles south east of the city of Bath. Trowbridge has a rich history of weaving industry spanning back over a thousand years as well as its status as a Magna Carta Baron Town. The opening of the Kennet and Avon Canal in 1810 brought cheap coal to the town allowing the woollen trade to become mechanised. This was essential as the flow of the river Biss was too weak to power the machines. There were 17 factories and 3 dye houses in production in the town and Trowbridge soon became known as “The Manchester of the West“.

In 1824, Thomas Usher and his wife Hannah acquired a small brewery in Back Street, Trowbridge, renaming it Usher’s Wiltshire Brewery. Which became the well know Ushers Brewery, establishing a loyal following right up until its closure in 2000. The site of the old brewery is now where the Sainsbury’s supermarket stands today.

Trowbridge’s industrial strength came into its own during World War 2 as production of the Spitfire area craft began. The main Spitfire site was of course in Southampton but this was well known to the enemy too. It was decided to disperse the production to other areas, Salisbury, Reading, Newbury and Trowbridge. The dispersal meant that each of the areas developed its own self-contained Spitfire production unit. In October 1940, jigs and tooling for building the aircraft were transported to Trowbridge on low-loaders and lorries from Southampton. A large factory was constructed on Bradley Road. This enabled complete aircraft to be produced in Trowbridge for the first time. When each aircraft were complete, the fuselage, with its wings lying alongside, were transported on long, so-called Queen Mary low loaders to a hangar at Keevil airfield. There, the wings and propeller were attached and the aircraft made ready for action. At Keevil airfield, female pilots would fly the Spitfires to the airfields where they were needed for active service.

Trowbridge has a wealth of independent shops, High Street outlets, Leisure centre, Odeon Cinema, and a great choice of restaurants, making it a great place to visit.
