Those of you who are interested in Bridgwater's history may be interested in these photos of the wonderful silk banner of the Bridgwater Independent Druids' Friendly Society-made by George Tutill in East London in about 1890-which has been rescued from a local loft and is now in the care of Bridgwater Town Council at the Town Hall with a real chance it can be displayed for local people to see, if some basic conservation work can be completed.
Friendly Societies-still existing today-were in some ways the 18th and 19th century precursors of trade unions and looked after working-class people with sick out of work and funeral benefits.
