Watchet's South Road/Woodlands Road area

With the Staple Plain area of the Quantock Hills on the skyline. Taken from the St. Decuman's Road to Parsonage Farm footpath. The light industrial units - on the other side of the field - are on the site of a former gasworks, whose gasholders were demolished some years back. I can remember South Wales coke being imported through Watchet Harbour, back in the early 1960s, to produce the gas at this site.
