Trowbridge, County town in Wiltshire, England
Trowbridge sits along the River Biss at 58 meters elevation, with streets lined by historic buildings from its industrial textile manufacturing past.
The settlement, recorded as Straburg in the 1086 Domesday Book, contained 24 households and generated 8 pounds sterling annually for its lord Brictric.
The Trowbridge Museum, located in a former textile mill, displays the industrial heritage through exhibits including one of five remaining Spinning Jenny machines.
