In the early 13th century, Bridport had become the country's most important rope making centre. This was followed by net making, and it was upon these two industries that the town's fame and fortune was built.

The Rope Makers ( Dining / Pubs / Bars ). Located at 36 West Street. The Ropemakers was built in the late eighteenth century by the Gundry family and was originally called The Sun Inn. The building was refurbished by the Brewery in 1989 and the name changed to The Ropemakers to reflect Bridport's main industry as the World's biggest net making centre which was based on the other side of the road. In some ways The Ropemakers is a bit of a Tardis in that the building is much larger than it looks from the street as it stretches back and back ending in a pretty courtyard area that is popular with smokers and drinkers alike.
