Bladud's Head
The old pub seems to be more than closed during the Covid-19 lockdown. Almost all the signs are gone as is the outdoor furniture. Only one small sign remains - see Image

Slowing for Lower Swainswick
The old Gloucester Road indeed once used to be the main road to the north from Bath. Today it has been largely superseded by the newer dual carriageway not far from here. This has allowed the old tollhouse, with its octagonal profile, to enjoy a distinctly quieter life. See Image] for a benchmark on it.
