A small shop, with an intriguing building behind. It obviously has stood here for some time, and has been modified over the years, but what was its original purpose? As a later footnote, I think that it is probably part of the West of England Steam Mills, described in 1850 as just erected at a cost of £6,000 raised by a numerous company.
