Thompson's Pit engine house, Cock Road
A remarkably intact engine house at 54 Cock Road, Kingswood. This is believed to date from c1820 and house an engine used for pumping and winding. Although one source claimed it housed a vertical engine, it may well have held a Newcomen type beam engine. There is a large bricked up arched opening that may have been where a beam passed out of the building. The pit was a coal pit or colliery as Kingswood had a coalfield that was developed at an early date. The Bristol area is home to some remarkable survivors from this early industrial period but some do not possess any form of statutory protection - like this building.

Praying for a new life
The Cock Road Methodist chapel was finally closed and put up for auction. It was founded around a century ago, became a Sunday School for a time and is now being converted into a non denominational building.

A bee bearing the brunt
It's late February and the big bees have started to emerge. Sadly this bumbler was rather torpid: looking more closely at it there are some pinkish lumps near its head - the presence of bee mites is becoming ever more common, even at this cold time of year.

The Cock Road trig
Now set in a public open space and subject to some land management is the triangulation pillar. In the past this spot comprised plain fields with a hedge right behind where the pillar is now. That seem to have been allowed to grow a little. See Image] for the flush bracket.

An early preacher
This little open area is at the end of Belsher Drive - a new housing development at the edge of the Cock Road Ridge green space, previously known as Mount Pleasant Great Ground. In 1812, a large house was made into the Cock Road Methodist Day School - and a Mr Belsher was one of the first ministers.
