George Soudon Bridgman was an architect and civil engineer, active in the late 19th century in Torquay, Devon and the local area.[2] He is best known for his work in the seaside resort of Paignton, designing Oldway Mansion and Paignton Pier within that town, as well as designing the sea wall and promenade at Paignton Beach. He was part of several other local projects and was considered as being so significant to the development of the town, that he became known as 'the Father of Paignton'.[3][4]
