Where is Stonebridge?
Stonebridge lies along a stretch of old stone-built streets and former mills near the city's center, where Foundry St and its cross streets hold a mix of workshops, galleries and homes.
What is the history of Stonebridge?
The neighborhood grew around nineteenth-century mills and a foundry that gave the main street its name. When industry moved on, the buildings found new lives as studios, lofts and offices, and the stone archways and walls were preserved as part of the streetscape.

Gallery openings, a ceramics studio, a brewery taproom and a weekend flea market bring people through Foundry St. A pedestrian promenade past the studios links the galleries and workshops.
How do you get around from Stonebridge?
Stonebridge is close to the central business district and well served by local buses. Street parking is limited, so confirm what comes with a given property.
