A well preserved limekiln at Uphill
Lime had 3 major uses, as a fertilizer, in mortar and when slaked in water as whitewash. This coastal location was convenient for coal shipped in from Wales and facile export by boat.

The Great Rhyne
Part of the sluice gate before the rhyne empties out into the River Axe. An information plaque reveals that the area of Uphill is actually below the level of the highest tides! Evidence has been found of a sluice dating back to the beginning of the 1600s. Subsequent modernisation and repairs have been carried out: in WWII prisoners built a new one; after the devastating flood of December 1981, more repairs were needed. However, the old mechanisms were in need of total replacement and so these works were made in 2004. See Image] for a wider view of the sluice.

Flower boat
Uphill has a nautical theme to the area, marked by a boat that is not quite seaworthy at present.

Uphill old Boat yard
Things seem to be at a standstill in the boatyard, no doubt later in the day work will commence to get things moving toward some repairs perhaps.

Numbered bin
An ordinary-looking bin save for a number. Where is 36? Or indeed 38?

Along Uphill Way
The road carries the rhyne alongside but also features some stones set into the wall. They are recorded as 'Sea wall works boundary stone' and are post-mediaeval in date. See https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7521747 for a look.

Swallowed by the pavement
Not swallowed by the water - which would have more than likely happened over the years gone by. A boundary (?) stone on the Great Rhyne Image], a partner to another: Image
