2010 : River Chew looking upstream at Woollard
Another look at this attractive river. The Chew rises on the northern slopes of the Mendip Hills at Chewton Mendip, flows south to Chew Magna via Litton and the Chew Valley Lake then east through Pensford and Woollard. Acker Bilk was born in Pensford and this scene reminds me of his song "That's My Home" though the shady elm trees have long been lost to the Dutch elm disease. Thanks to Rick Crowley for pointing out the error.

River Chew, Woollard
Innocuous-looking at the moment, this river flooded in a major way on 10 July 1968 and took down the bridge that used to cross the river. The bridge has since been replaced.

The old chapel in Mill Lane
This modest building along the banks of the River Chew has an interesting history. Originally believed to be a farm building, it was appointed as a Baptist chapel in the nineteenth century. It also appears to have served as a farmworkers' refuge before changing in the 1970s. Then it was a store and a catering concern, which caused a certain amount of village disdain over parking. Eventually it closed and was left unoccupied. Now it appears that the extensive renovation carried out will not allow it to become a commercial property, although it is offered as a private residence.

Close-up of the memorial to the flood, Woollard
The memorial is adjacent to the River Chew which flooded in a big way on 10 July 1968. The stones used to create the memorial came from the bridge of the time which was destroyed by the flood.

The Chew at Woollard
A similar view to Image, taken a couple of years later; a little shed has emerged from creepers. In the background, the C18 Woollard House is listed http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=32634&mode=adv . Looking upstream.

Notice the old stones
Woollard notice board beside a flagpole and the remnants of the old bridge lost in the floods of 1968. The green metal railings are on the modern replacement bridge.

You can't phone for an ambulance
But if you are having a heart attack, the AED kit will be what you need. Another village phone box has found a different use...
