About the TROWBRIDGE Conservation Area
The TROWBRIDGE Conservation Area covers about 41 hectares and was designated by Wiltshire Council in 1975. Inside the boundary are 224 listed buildings (6 Grade I, 13 Grade II*, 205 Grade II). The most significant is 68 Fore Street, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
