About this Assembly
The Community Assembly of Wadebridge (Cornish: Ponswad) is located in a town in north Cornwall which is part of the Kernow Territory.
Wadebridge straddles the River Camel, five miles upstream from Padstow and just off the A39. Originally known as Wade because it was a fording crossing point, the name changed to it's present form after a bridge was commissioned by Reverand Thomas Lovibond in the 15th century. Granted a market license in 1312 by Edward II, the cattle market closed in 2001. Nowadays, it is also home to the Royal Cornwall Show held in early June each year.
The Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway was built during the 1830s originally intended to carry agricultural goods, it was one of the first railways to carry passengers. The last passenger train left Wadebridge station in 1967 following railway cutbacks and the line now enjoys a resurgence with the Bodmin and Wenford Railway, heritage railway, operating on part of the route.
