Abstract
Results of recent fieldwork show that significant quantities of Bridgwater tiles, manufactured by Colthurst, Symons & Co. Ltd., were imported into northern Brittany during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Their surviving distribution is largely confined to the northern Côtes-du-Nord where they testify to an important phase of roof-covering between the almost universal roofing with thatch and the now ubiquitous slate covering. The presence of these tiles is a further example of trading and cultural links across the western seaways which have existed since prehistoric times.
