Handle House by ajisaac

Handle House

The curious Handle House, situated on a bridge over the River Biss.

It was built 1843-1848, for teazle drying for Trowbridge’s once famous cloth industry, hence the open brickwork.

There is a hole in the bridge to allow goods to be lowered through the floor to waiting boats.
Very interesting capture!
