2007 : East of Wellow

The house stands near the Wellow Brook which is immediately in front of the camera (hope they don't get trouble with flooding). Up the hill beyond the house a line across the field shows the track of the Somerset Coal Canal, Southern Arm, which was built as a tramway between 1805 and 1815 to serve collieries around Radstock. Above that a field hedge conceals the trackbed of the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway which replaced it in 1870 and closed in 1970.
