2011 : A4175 Oldland Common, heading south
Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldland_Common says "Oldland Common was first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. As was common in the surrounding area, the village was involved in the coal mining industry and had its own pit on Cowhorn Hill during the 1800s."
They also tell us "Oldland Common is the birthplace of the famous astronomer Sir Bernard Lovell, and is home to the Sir Bernard Lovell secondary school, a designated language college opened by Lovell himself in 1972, once attended by England cricketer Marcus Trescothick."

Off up to Oldland Station
The train passes under West Street bridge. Alongside the single track is a cycle path and, on the other side of it, a small stream. The track was originally part of the Midland branch line from Mangotsfield: it opened in 1865, became part of the LMS line later and finally closed to official traffic on 7th March, 1966. It is now a preserved railway.
