The Rising Sun and Mill Corner Garage
Image: © Neil Owen Taken: 3 Oct 2016
One of Pensford's old coaching inns, the Rising Sun once was the hub of many hands and hooves. The mill beyond was once involved in the manufacture of broadcloth - an important industry up to the middle of the seventeenth century. With regard to the latter building, it was inundated in the Great Flood of 1968 and a marker has been left at the highwater mark (see Image]). The flood came up to above the ground floor window!
