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

Pensford marker stone
A roadside stone seems to bear the legend 'A+T'. It does not appear to be a boundary stone as it is in the middle of the High Street, so perhaps it refers to property? Surely it's not a memorial.

New Road milestone
This milestone may well be partly buried under modern tarmac, but old maps record it as being six miles to Bristol but also fifteen to Wells - which it does not here. Also, it is interesting to see that it refers to the bridge, a short distance away from its position.

A new bin on the High Street
Along with the post box and grit bin, a new litter bin has been provided. Supplied by the local council, it affords some extra revenue by an advertising sign.
