History

(The path of the old bridge is still somewhat visible; two large sets of power lines cross the river at the same point.) Currently, a new bridge is in construction to replace the deteriorating Brightman Street Bridge. It was named for Somerset Square in Boston, which was, in turn, named for the county of Somerset England. However, as neighboring Fall River, Massachusetts River's industry grew, it absorbed much of Somerset's, and the town took on more of a suburban character. In the late 19th century, the Slade's Ferry Bridge connected the two towns, from the current southern terminus of Brayton Avenue in Somerset to Brownell Street in Fall River, and was double-decked, with a railroad section on the top level. In 1872, it became the site of a major coal port, and in the early 20th century a large cannery existed in the town.
