As Portishead's old industries were pulled down and the land converted into residential expansion, the houses were separated by a play area. The old paper mill used to be close by near the docks: in the 1920s the Severn Kraft Mill was established to make specialist materials but had technical and legal problems right from the beginning. It lasted until the late 1930s and the site cleared. Developer Taylor Wimpey built the houses and opened this play area in February, 2019. See Image] for the neighbour.
