The town called Ivy Bridge

The small town of Ivy Bridge is known for many things. ivy_bridge Sited at about 9 miles east of Plymouth, the town enjoys a beautiful natural setting. It is also situated in close proximity to Dartmoor, a National Park of Wales and England. The town of Ivy Bridge has centuries of history as a mill town and the mills here which were built using the River Erme's power date back to the 16th century. Another interesting fact is that Ivy Bridge is often referred to as a dormitory town though most of the people work in the town itself.

I met a friend of mine who works at Blackcode Advertising last week and he happened to be from this small town. I had read about Ivy Bridge before but I was always curious about how the town got this peculiar name.

“Ivy Bridge takes its name from a tiny 13th-century hump-backed bridge of the same name. The bridge gained significant importance because it was the only means of crossing the river till the year 1894 (apart form swimming of course). And, since this bridge was the centre of the village and at the same time very important to its existence, the town was named the 'parish of IvyBridge' in the year 1894”. 'So that's how' I mused. Afterall, I knew, there was no one other than a person from the town itself who could give the accurate facts.
