2011 : The King William, Cadbury Heath
Or the "King Billy" to the locals and, I believe, many others.
Those who knew him will recognise him from his portrait as William IV. The house may have been opened in the first half of the 19th century, or it might have been the second, anyway it was open 1881 when the landlord was Mr.H.Potter, a local butcher.

A cross in every window
The Mill Lane Independent Methodist Church shows its face to the road with some apt symbols. Originally a couple of houses, the movement bought them for around £650 in 1898 to create a new church.

Mill Lane Independent Methodist Church
The Warmley area was once a place of heavy industry, with coal mines, quarrying and the Flock and Shoddy engineering works important employers in the nineteenth century. As is often the case when population numbers rise rapidly, there was a large uptake in church-going, particularly in the Methodist movement. However, the creation of several churches in the area proved to increase contention between various congregations. The Temperance Movement brought matters to a head and there was a split which resulted in this church being founded in 1899.
The building was originally two small houses, and was enlarged after the Independents took over. A new hall was built in 1973 and the church continues its work to this day.

Warmley. South Gloucestershire, Independent Methodist Church
The rock-faced frontage to the mainroad could mean a house but the side windows and the later extension to the rear gives the game away (apart from the signs that is too!)

2011 : The northern bit of Tower Road South
Tower Road South ends at the bottom of the hill then it becomes Tower Road North as it passes into Warmley village.
Tower Roads North and South were named after Warmley Tower which seems to work on the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A408638 "It's around here somewhere."
