The old colliery area to the north and east of early Bristol produced many tons of coal. Transporting the goods to a more connected site nearer the River Avon necessitated the creation of a small gauge railway - the Dramway. Originally powered by horse and later by engines, it has now become a popular footpath. North Common is a mile or so to the south.
