Made-for-Ever church, Kingswood
This 1896 Wesleyan Methodist church on Anchor Road shares a name with the nearby pub shown in Image From http://churchdb.gukutils.org.uk/GLS1401.php : "According to the Wordsworth Dictionary of Pub Names, by David Rothwell, "this area is known locally as 'Made for ever' because of a remark made by two miners, Lewis and Fudge, who discovered a huge deposit of coal and exclaimed 'We're made for ever' " ".

2009 : Anchor Made for Ever, New Cheltenham
Well, for the time being anyway.
Was unsure if they were still open but they are on a real ale website.
"250-year old two-bar pub, rumoured to have a residential ghost. Name came from
coal miners who thought they would be 'made forever' financially. Bass direct
from the cellar in summer."

2009 : Urban into rural, New Cheltenham to Siston Common
Nearly at the point where east Bristol's sprawling housing estates become open countryside. (Officially this is Gloucestershire, the Bristol boundary is about a mile west of here.)
The roundabout to the right is at the eastern end of Cheltenham Road which gives way to Fisher Road on the other side.

Two flights of wooden steps
This little subway is a modern redevelopment of Siston Common, providing access to the shared path. Whilst the area has plenty of old railway lines, this is an entirely latter-day creation.

2009 : Roundabout at the end of Cheltenham Road
The eastern end, that is. New Cheltenham gives way to Siston Common on the other side of the roundabout as Cheltenham Road becomes Fisher Road.
Anchor Road is to the left and Tenniscourt Road to the right. Both of these roads were named after public houses (or vice versa).

Still a common
Siston Common is now a rather fragmented collection of open spaces, crossed and re-crossed by busy roads. But the cattle grid and gate at the junction with the new Station Road Link is a pertinent reminder of times gone by.

The Horseshoe at Siston Common
The Horseshoe Inn used to be a rural and somewhat remote place back in the late 1800s, but is now very close to road and old railway links - the latter now traversed by cyclists.

A cattle grid - but no cattle
Siston Common was once a more unified open space but is now divided by modern roads for the main part. However, some elements of the old ways still carry on today - witness this cattle grid. No sign of any cows at the present, although commoners' rights must still be met.
