This site in Nailsea's town centre was the former Elms Colliery, much of which is now a supermarket car park. The winding tower has survived the changes, along with the circular outline of a horse whim (capstan) on the ground. The small parcel of land between the supermarket and the playing field is also home to a children's play area.
