Twerton, Bath. Remains of Wood House
Wood House designed and built in 1838 for Charles Wilkins by Bath architect Edward Davis, and then owned by the Carr family who also owned Twerton Woollen Factories on the island in the river Avon which is now a bus depot. Today, flats stand on the site of the old house. The Carr family opened their grounds for a popular flower show each year.
Stone stairs still visible today are shown here, these once led from the terrace at the back of the house down into the wood. Think how many people must have walked on them in the mid nineteenth century.

Brunel's Southern Railway Bridge in Twerton, Bath
In the 1840s, Isambard Kingdom Brunel brought his famous Great Western Railway through two Gothic style tunnels beside Carr's wood.
There was no structural reason to build the southernmost one - it was ordered simply to hide the railway from the view of Wood House, owned by Mr Carr Image
