Excerpt from Bridgewater in the Later Days: Being a Succeeding Volume to the Ancient Borough of Bridgewater
Again I have to express my thanks for much help received. The Municipal authorities have again permitted me to use their documents, and the Town Clerk and Mr. R. Letherby have been exceedingly courteous in giving me access to them. I am in debted to my friend Mr. Richard Cooke, of Detling, for many suggestions in the plan of the book. Several documents and papers have been lent to me by Mr. Edward Trevor, Mr. A. J. Coles, Mr. Maurice Page, Mr. Alderman Pollard, Mr. W. H. Kitch, Mr. H. E. Vine, Mr. W. H. Smith, Capt ]obson, Mr. Harden, the Rev. H. Butler, the Rev. H. Trotman, and others. An old inhabitant of the town, Mr. Henry Hayward, now eighty-five years of age, has, too, given me much information drawn from his long personal acquaintance with the place. So also has Mr. Creedy, who has seen ninety-six years of Bridgwater life. Mr. Trevor's documents have been specially useful, notably in enabling me to fix the exact site of the old Castle, which has been drawn upon the map which I owe to the kindness of Mr. A. B. Cottam, our Diocesan Surveyor. I desire also to acknowledge my thanks to Messrs. Brendon Son, who have taken extreme care with the print ing of the two volumes, and to the publishers.
