2009 : River Boyd looking upstream
From the bridge carrying the A431 at Bitton.
At one time the river carried raw effluent from the area into the River Avon just over half a mile to the south. Much cleaner now its condition then can hardly be imagined.

A view of the bridge
A handy seat for passers-by to use and admire the bridge railings. The planters provide some value.

More land needed
Linden Homes have attained the former mill site in Bitton - quite a catch at over seven hectares (17.29 acres) - but clearly haven't finished buying land yet.

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.

There is still some local industry.

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.
