Welcome to Ford Street

Ford Street is a charming and historic street located in the heart of Somerset, England. The street is lined with beautiful, old buildings that have been well-preserved over the years. Many of these buildings date back to the 18th and 19th centuries, and they offer a glimpse into the town's rich history. The street is also home to a number of quaint shops and cafes, making it a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.

One of the most notable buildings on Ford Street is the Somerset County Museum. This museum is housed in a beautiful Georgian building that was once the county jail. The museum offers visitors a fascinating look at the history of Somerset, with exhibits on everything from local industry to the county's natural history. The museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in the history of the area.

Another highlight of Ford Street is the annual Somerset Carnival. This carnival is one of the largest and most popular events in the town, drawing visitors from all over the country. The carnival features a parade of colorful floats, marching bands, and costumed performers. It's a fun and festive event that brings the community together and celebrates the town's unique culture and history. Whether you're a local or a visitor, the Somerset Carnival is an event that you won't want to miss.
