DOCUMENTS hidden away for just short of 100 years have been discovered by workers at a historic trading estate. A box full of letters and documents dating as far back as 1923 were found by contractors working on St Michael s Trading Estate on St Michael s Lane. The contractors are carrying out work to restore the historic Tower Building at the trading estate following the major fire in 2018. The box contained a bundle of around 20 letters, most of them originating from Lillywhites Sports Outfitter of Haymarket, London, requesting that Edwards Sports Nets in Bridport send them various pieces of sports netting. One letter contains a special order ticket for some tennis netting. Edwards became the official supplier to Wimbledon in the 1870s, an arrangement that continues until the company was bought out by Huck Nets in 2016. Huck Nets still operate from Bridport today and continue making the tennis nets for Wimbledon and for tennis clubs across the country.
