The inn sign of The Guss and Crook gives some idea of the hardships endured by miners of the Somerset Coal Field in former days.
Pit ponies were used for this work in other parts of the country.

"The oldest member of the Timsbury community still living in the village has died at the Laurels Nursing Home at the age of 98.
Les Bridges was born at Hobbs Wall, Farmborough, on April 15, 1910.
Much of his working life saw him employed in the mines, principally at Pensford, where he used to wear the guss and crook."
In his younger days, Mr Bridges was a talented footballer for both Farmborough and Timsbury and represented the county."

Corner in Timsbury
Not for the first time, my very early Explorer sheet from the 90s misled me into thinking there was a pub here. Clearly Dray Cottage (centre), by the junction of Church Hill (left) and South Road, was once a pub (originally the New Inn but later the Guss and Crook https://www.flickr.com/photos/77751183@N07/33347771205 ), but is now a clock restorer's.
