Foul by the Frome
A large circular manhole cover stands ominously right beside the River Frome. The cover bears the text 'Frome Valley foulsewer', rather perversely.
Broads was a builder's merchant, established at Paddington Dock, London, in 1882; they had an iron foundry at Hanwell, West London.

A stink pipe and a sewer by the River Frome
It is something of a surprise to see a sewer system this close to the river. The vent pipe bears the mark of William E. Farrer: he started a Birmingham foundry, established in 1896, and produced many sewer and sanitary ironmongery, some of which included supplying railways. They were merged over time and are now a part of the Montgomery Watson Harza group.

An autumn crown
The somewhat disturbed summer weather has caused lots of odd responses from the natural environment. Here a tree seems to be changing colour from the top downwards. A sort of traffic light effect, possibly?

Barely a trace
The greenery is quick to heal and conceal the past. Underneath the Spring growth is a ruined building. In the past this was Witherly's Mill - this site seems to have records of a grist mill from before 1498. By 1790 it was owned by a tobacconist and making snuff - the area is popularly known as Snuff Mills due to number that did. Two years later and the mill was owned by the first members of the Wills tobacco family of Bristol, again producing snuff. In 1843 the mill was bought by Thomas Saint, who converted it to make flocks and carding wool. The last owner was a Thomas Lusty, who ran it until about 1877. The disused buildings were largely demolished in the 1930s.
