Bridgwater has always had a unique smell :wink: it’s been better since they shut the cellophane factory though :wink:

Exactly as Denis says.
Used to STINK. I remember 25 years ago, before we moved to Devon, I could tell exactly when we passed Bridgewater just by the smell…
Since BPI have gone, no more smell.
But the river through the town does give it a unique smell anyway.
Bit like parts of Bristol…
