Seen from near the top of the hill with Lodge Causeway at the bottom running to Fishponds. The stone built houses on the right pre-date the housing estate, mistly brick, which was built in the 1920/30's. The most obvious item further over is the Post Office Tower standing on Pur Down Image The distant hills, faint on the horizon, are on the other side of the Bristol Channel. "Lodge Causeway is an ancient passage through the former Royal Forest of Kingswood and now the main road between Fishponds and Kingswood in Bristol, England. The Causeway led to Kingswood Lodge at the top of Lodge Hill, recorded in use since Saxon times when kings used the forest for hunting whilst resident at the palace at Pucklechurch, where King Edmund was murdered by an outlaw in 946. It passes through the Fishponds suburbs of Hillfields, Mayfield Park and Chester Park." The above was copied from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lodge_Causeway
