This is the former mansion of Bagpath Court, which is now a farmhouse. This hamlet, by the Little Avon River, once supported a colony of weavers, which failed on the introduction of mechanisation to the cloth industry. Hard to believe today but the river once supported a number of cloth mills, in the ownership of the monks of Kingswood Abbey. Time photo taken 3.46 pm BST (British Summer Time).
