Clevedon from the Zig-zag
The road above Hill Road is particularly steep and the path has to change direction a number of times. However, the efforts scaling it are rewarded by this view over central Clevedon.

The former Congregational Chapel on Hill Road
Founded in 1885 to designs by Foster & Wood of Bristol, the Congregational Chapel later became part of the United Reformed Church. Its noticeable feature is the slender octagonal bell-tower surmounted by a shafted lantern with steep conical roof. Interestingly the O.S. maps currently list it as a mere 'cross' but not very long ago it was a 'church with spire'. The falling attendances forced the church to close in the 1990s and it was converted into residential use.

Is it a spire or not?
The former Congregational Chapel's slender octagonal bell-tower is surmounted by a shafted lantern with a steep conical roof. Although not a church anymore (it was converted to residential use decades ago) the O.S. used to mark it as a 'church with spire'. But not now - it's just a mere 'cross' symbol.

14 and 16, Malvern House, Hill Road, Clevedon
Grade II Listed Malvern House became Junior Poon's Chinese Restaurant in 1992 in the former pharmacists built in 1845 by Sir Arthur Hallam Elton. The oil street lamp (out of shot) in front of the building was one of the first outside London. Prior to 1883 the chemist was Frederick Martin (1842-1883) succeeded by Thomas Grant until 1899 (when he turned to selling cars and cycles) and then From 1903 to 1931 Henry Shepherd. Boots were last to run a chemists from here. Interestingly both Martin and Grant sold microscopic slides on the side and in the 1881 census Grant is listed as 'visitor' at Malvern House so presumably learning his slide skills from Martin and taking over the business on his death.
