The Twelve Bells, 2 Seymour Road, is a substantial if unremarkable public house.
A market town and county town of Wiltshire, Trowbridge lies on the River Biss, 6 miles (10 kilometres) south of Bath. The town developed as a centre for woollen cloth production from the 14th century, which from the 17th century became increasingly industrialized, so much so that, in 1820, Trowbridge was described as the "Manchester of the West" with over 20 woollen cloth producing factories. The Kennet and Avon Canal runs just to the north of the town and both the Wessex Main Line (Bristol–Westbury–Southampton) and the Heart of Wessex Line (Bristol–Westbury–Weymouth) railways.
