Wellington, Market town in Somerset, England
Wellington occupies a strategic position near the Devon border, featuring Georgian architecture and a central market square surrounded by historical buildings.
The town received its market charter in 1215 and developed as a major wool manufacturing center during the Industrial Revolution with Fox Brothers' Mill.
Wellington Monument, a 175-foot tall triangular structure on Blackdown Hills, commemorates the Duke of Wellington's military achievements against Napoleon Bonaparte.
The commercial district includes numerous independent shops, restaurants, and a weekly market, with regular bus connections to neighboring Taunton.
Fox, Fowler and Company operated in Wellington until 1921 as the last English private bank authorized to print its own banknotes.
