Northleaze School
The Smyth family owned plenty of land in this area, and kindly donated this patch for the construction of a parochial school in 1860. Public donations provided the £2,200 required to start work. The official opening was 21st January, 1862 and welcomed all local children, not just Church of England ones.
A new Northleaze School opened not far away in Brook Close.

Poppies at the top of Yanley Lane
Long Ashton's tribute to the fallen of WWI features many of these large poppies on roadside poles. Each has a hand-written description of a man and his regiment. The writing seems to be that of school pupils.

A specific poppy memorial
This large poppy appears to commemorate an individual soldier of the Great War. Several telegraph poles along the main road have such dedications.
The name appears to be Gilbert Russel Walker, 1881-1916, 21st Field Company, South Midlands Royal. The Division left Salisbury Plain training camps for the attack on Fromelles, near the Somme - which claimed many lives in a terrible encounter, 19th July, 1916.
The number 172 refers to the actual telegraph pole.
