The Great Flood of '68
Pensford was devastated in the terrible flooding of the River Chew in 1968, with the main bridge being washed away, the railway viaduct and St Thomas à Becket church becoming weakened to the point of disuse and many properties extensively damaged. This marker is on a former mill close to the centre of the village - see Image

'Du U Af Two Bee Ear?'
Some sage advice to passers-by, if not quite top notch scholarly work. The beer barrels are suspicious by inclusion.

Taking a rest from the toil
A mural of miners has been created on the side of, appropriately, the old miners' welfare institute. Pensford employed many men in the coal mines in the nineteenth century. A similar image can be found on the George and Dragon on the High Street nearby - see Image

Pensford weir crossing
The weir has a lovely little stone path over it, handy to get to the church or the pub - depending on your preference.

A little bridge over the Chew
The stone bridge over the weir is older than the railway viaduct by some measure.

Work at the weir
The footpath splits here: one route uses the field, whereas another takes in the steps over the weir and into the pub gardens. However, today this option is closed as there are several people attacking the overgrowth and generally clearing the place up.

The Rising Sun and Mill Corner Garage
One of Pensford's old coaching inns, the Rising Sun once was the hub of many hands and hooves. The mill beyond was once involved in the manufacture of broadcloth - an important industry up to the middle of the seventeenth century. With regard to the latter building, it was inundated in the Great Flood of 1968 and a marker has been left at the highwater mark (see Image]). The flood came up to above the ground floor window!
