Goal posts at the southwestern side of the recration ground. This was formerly the site of Pennyquick Colliery and Quarry. "Opened in 1840, the spoil heap has been landscaped as a playing field. When it closed, the quarry was filled with demolition material from the 1942 blitz bombing on Bath" http://www.riveravontrail.org.uk/archive/carrs_wood_leaflet.pdf .
