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

Institute - to let
The old Pensford miners had a tough enough existence and so this welfare institute was founded in 1906. Today, however, the social club has vacated the premises and is offering the building for sale.

The bar of The Rising Sun
We had a nice pub lunch in The Rising Sun and whilst no one was in the bar I managed to take this picture. It's good to see an traditional unspoilt pub retaining its character.

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.

Flood Level at Pensford 10th and 11th July 1968
The level is shown on the plaque on the wall top left. Part of Pensford viaduct is also shown. Bristol and North Somerset Railway, built the viaduct in 1873 but closed to trains in 1968 after the flood made it supposedly unsafe.
