2010 : Turnpike house in the Palladian style
On the A4 east of Saltford.
"The term "turnpike" originates from the similarity of the gate used to control access to the road, to the barriers once used to defend against attack by cavalry. The turnpike consisted of a row of pikes or bars, each sharpened at one end, and attached to horizontal members which were secured at one end to an upright pole or axle, which could be rotated to open or close the gate."

2010 : Avon County Rowing Club, the back entrance
The main entrance is on the river and far more impressive.
"Avon County Rowing Club was formed in 1973, following a merger of the former Avon and Bristol clubs. This ended a tradition of friendly rivalry, stretching back to the previous century, between oarsmen training in the colours of a succession of clubs based at Saltford."
