The gasworks are gone
This unremarkable scene in Lawrence Street shows little of the past. Indeed, this was previously the site of Wrington's Gasometer, now a small business place and housing. The gas works would have kept the village in power and light in the nineteenth century, but it had been replaced by other forms of supply by the early 1900s. The works then were used as a smithy initially before more development.

A little achievement
The west wall of Wrington's Memorial Hall bears two plaques: one marks the founding of the hall by Mary Monica Cunliffe, widow of Henry Herbert Wills (of tobacco family fame) on May 26th, 1923. The upper plaque confers the award of the old Avon Best Kept Village in 1995. The award was the Wills Cup, rather appropriately.
