Paper Mill play space
As Portishead's old industries were pulled down and the land converted into residential expansion, the houses were separated by a play area. The old paper mill used to be close by near the docks: in the 1920s the Severn Kraft Mill was established to make specialist materials but had technical and legal problems right from the beginning. It lasted until the late 1930s and the site cleared. Developer Taylor Wimpey built the houses and opened this play area in February, 2019. See Image] for the neighbour.

Balancing pond in Paper Mill Gardens
With Portishead's flat and marshy hinterland now occupied by housing, the estate has a balancing pond to cope with excessive rainfall and flooding. However, it lies next to a children's play area, and has an electricity substation opposite. See Image] for the play space.

Walking the Portbury Ditch
Much of the land to the left (east) of the drainage was untouched for many years, with the water stopping expansion of the old docks. However, it is now part of the large expansion of the town once the old heavy industries departed. A new bridge has brought the homeowners to the marina and also created a popular walking route.

A tall element
Matt Stein was given a £25,000 commission in 2007 by developer Persimmon to create an artwork as the houses were being built. The piece was finally named 'Elemental' and comprises two parts; this 4m high stainless steel work is individually named 'Flare'. See Image] for the other side of the road and the rest of the sculptures.
