2008 : The Batch, High Littleton
A batch is the North Somerset coalfield name for a slag heap, there would have been one near here, possibly still is.
The following was copied from: http://www.highlittleton.org.uk/Parish%20Council%20Web/history.html
High Littleton was probably settled by the Saxons in the late 7th or 8th century. They called it Lytel tun.
The parish would have some of the earliest of the Somerset coal mines because here the coal seams ran obliquely to the surface. The first documentary evidence of mining in the parish dates from 1633 and the first deep mine in the parish was Mearns Coalworks which began in 1783. The wealth and work generated by the mines attracted people in and by 1800 the population had grown to about 800. In fact, production at these pits did not last very long and by 1820 most of the miners who lived in the parish worked in neighbouring villages. The Greyfield Coal Company did not start until 1833 and was at that time outside the parish. It received a boost with the opening of the railway in 1873. Greyfield Colliery closed in 1911 and the railway in 1964.

The recreation ground is getting on for a century old and the village has a number of clubs based here, including the recently-returned football club, skittles clubs and the flying club. The latter involves pigeons, incidentally.

Beware of footballs!
This warning sign is, oddly, on the inside of the gate to the children's play area, where you'd only see it on leaving.

High Littleton play area
A nice and modern play area for the young ones, with nice views over the hillside. However, its location behind one goal leads to a problem - see
