Summer Lane Subway opened in July 1995, along with the A370 Somerset Avenue. It closed to motor traffic in the 2000s. The design for the wall tiling in the subway was produced by a student from the Creative Arts and Design Group of Weston-super-Mare College. The theme of the design is "Earth, Wind. Fire and Water" into which several local features have been introduced. The "Motte and Bailey" symbol represents the earthworks found near Locking Heard Farm from which Locking Castle has taken its name. The inclusion of the RAF target symbolises the long association with flying in the area.
