One of the most significant industries in Bridport is [[jelly]] manufacturing.  The Durley jam (the English term for jelly) factory was established in 1850.  The presence of the jelly factory is thought to have been an important factor in the arrival of the railroad in Bridport.  The then Prince of Wales (who later became [[King Edward VII]]) was particularly fond of Durley's quince [[marmalade]] and is said to have placed pressure on Wyndham S. Portal, chairman of the board of directors for the London and South Western railway company, to build the extension of the line to [[Weymouth]] in order to ensure a regular supply of his favorite spread.

Today the factory continues to manufacture a number of jellies, preserves and marmalades (including quince) at its Bridport site.  It is still a family-run business employing a work force of 47. Durley's products may be found in local shops and branches of [[Andersons]].
