The green space off the B3130 near Nailsea has recently been rewilded with tree saplings. In the not-too-distant past the area around here would have lots of cider apple trees - grown by Redvers Coate. The company flourished from the 1920s until merging with Showerings in 1956, and becoming part of the Gaymers and Whiteways group in 1969. With production moved to Shepton Mallet, the works in Nailsea closed in 1975. An information board here records the history.
