Ash House
The lion looks rather startled and fearful that his house might be due to receive a visit from the bulldozers. See Image] for a wider look at the surviving houses.

Heather House with additional species
The porch of the old buildings next to the old mill site have been boarded up. The name is somewhat compromised by what might be a buddleia that has grown in the masonry. See Image] for a wider view.

Iron sided
The River Boyd is a relatively small watercourse, rising in the hills a few miles to the north and heading down to the Avon. However, it does have a history of causing flooding in the area. The original bridge was considered insecure and this new version was built in 1972. The river banks were also sculpted extensively with iron sheeting, along with a 'ski-jump' weir.

An industrial relic
Some hefty ironwork in the ground, possibly a weigh-bridge? Parsons were a foundry in Bradford that produced them. The site was lastly a car parts factory, using wood pulp for interior fittings; however that has now been cleared for a housing redevelopment.

Cleared for new homes
This is the large former industrial site that was the fulcrum of Bitton's heritage for many years. This site beside the River Boyd was variously a brass mill, paper mill and car parts factory. However, the businesses finally closed in 2006 and the site left in limbo. Eventually, the permissions and fundings were sealed and the large area is to be redeveloped for 110 new 1-,2-,3- and 4-bedroomed houses.
