A local parish rubbish bin is a business opportunity for a local firm.

Not a pretty sight but it is there, for all we know it could be hiding something worse.

Pensford's gospel faith really begins in the early twentieth century, when people would gather to read and worship in significant numbers. Missions from Bristol made visits and held oepn-air meetings near the viaduct. Soon, tents were used too, then a wooden hut which served for a time. However, when the movement gathered enough momentum a couple of old cottages on Old Road were purchased and demolished in 1958; this Gospel Hall became the meeting place and remains so today. Update Feb '23: the hall has closed as a place of worship and planning permission to convert it into residential use has been approved.

This small and inconspicuous lane leading from the Wells Road is Police Lane. Further up was Police House, which appears to have been lost to a newer house now.

Along High Street. This really was Pensford's main road in former days.

As the name suggests this is the old road through Pensford before the coming of the A37.

The village made a living from local coal mining during the previous two centuries, so it became prudent to provide some form of education.
