Dropping down from Kingswood, the bus is the best way up.
On the horizon straight ahead, that row of trees on Freezing Hill

A crumbling sign on Hill Street
There are many older shops and houses along the main road, with a few still bearing some of the original features. This take-away seems to have had some attempt to retain the name, although things are crumbling somewhat.
In times past, there was a row of buildings along the same frontage to the right of the shop, but these have now been lost. The shop projects out from the rest of the street, which was opposite an old leather factory before the war.

2009 : Do you think they do part exchange?

Hill Street milestone
It is natural to see an old stone with the plate missing - many have doubtless been melted down as scrap by the unscrupulous. It had marked Bristol as being four miles away. This one is on Hill Street in Kingswood, close to a lane which was created along with the modern housing beside it.

Kingswood: The former Highwayman
In 2011 the A420 road heading into Bristol was littered with dead pubs. This former Ansells outlet is one of them. This is the view from Honeyhill Road.

A sign is all that's left
The large residential block is called Highwayman Court - a modern development on the site of the former Ansell's pub, The Highwayman. A fixture for many years in Kingswood, the pub closed in 2010, was demolished, and the offices and flats opened by 2015. All that remains is the old pub sign, now hanging forlornly and ghostly.
