A view upstream, in the direction of the source of the Little Avon River. It might seem incredible today but there were once a number of cloth mills on the Little Avon, owned by the monks of Kingswood Abbey. Newington Bagpath was at one time the home of a colony of weavers. Time photo taken 4.52 pm BST (British Summer Time).
