Bloomsbury was once known as “Johnson’s Iron Works”, owned by Robert Johnson, on the north bank of the river. The current name is derived either from the Bloom family, influential in the early history of the town, or from the iron ore processed into masses of wrought iron that are known as “blooms”.
