The Crown and Horseshoe on Cowhorn Hill
This pub has been here for many years - well before the present estates of Cadbury Heath. It probably profitted from the old quarry and coal miners who used to work nearby.

A small addition to the Siston Brook
A small tributary to the brook runs across Cowhorn Hill. Set in the grasslands around the houses, it has been rather smothered by the undergrowth.

The wall's a goal
A brick wall is just the place for a goal and to have a bit of footy. Behind are some garages.

Cowhorn Hill Pumping Station
This is an old colliery site that was redeveloped as a pumping station for the West Gloucester Water Co in 1910. There were two horizontal three cylinder compound pumping engines built in 1910 by Summers & Scott of Gloucester. Steam was superseded in the 1950s when the company was absorbed by the Bristol Waterworks Company. Permission has been granted to demolish these buildings. It is most unusual for the chimney to have survived and it is a shame it is all to be lost.
