Summary

edit
Description
English: Highbridge Clyce From 1801 to 1809 French prisoners of war were used to help cut a new channel for the River Brue where it runs through Highbridge, ending at what is still called New Clyce Bridge. ‘Clyce’ is the Somerset word for a dam, lock or sluice. At low tide the river runs freely, but the incoming tide closes the gates, preventing salt water from flooding inland.
