LIMITED edition teddy bears have been produced to celebrate a town's historic mill industry.
A loom on display at Trowbridge Museum was used to make costumes for the bears, produced for the Bears from the Shire shop, in Castle Place, Trowbridge,
Shop owner Scott Aldersley, 42, said: "Many people from the Trowbridge area have told us about their grandparents working at these mills. We have come up with this idea to celebrate the long forgotten woollen industry that Trowbridge once was with a unique collection."
There are four bears in the series called Ashton Mill, Courts Mill, Stone Mill and Home Mill and only three of each type.
The bears come with a certificate featuring a picture of a mill.
They are made of mohair and wearing costumes similar to those mill workers would have worn in the days when Trowbridge was a woollen industry town.
Mr Aldersley and his wife Lorraine, 39, have been running the business for six years.
They began with a gift shop in Westbury but slowly bears took over and now bear enthusiasts come from all over the country to add to their collections.
