Bridge Sollers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bridge Sollers is a village and civil parish in Herefordshire, England, about six miles west of Hereford, on the River Wye. It consists of 12 households.

Bridge Sollers takes its name from the surnames of a family connected with the parish. Simon de Brugge (b. 1272) married Mary Solers c.1297.

The first bridge was built at Bridge Sollers in 1896. Previously there had been a ferry system for crossing the river, and the nearest bridge was at Hereford. This bridge was replaced in 2004.
