2010 : B3119 West Town Lane, Brislington
Crosses the Brislington Brook at the bottom of the hill.
Local schools have recently disgorged their charges. They were all so polite, found it most offputting. Made me feel old.

Gables down to the ground
An unusual style of architecture on West Town Lane. These houses were a relatively late addition to the housing stock as most of the rest on the road is Inter-war period.

West Town Lane Free Library
What with all the local council cuts taking most public libraries out of action, some local positivity has provided this little chance for a good read. The note says that new donations will be cleansed before being put into the display, such are the necessities of the current pandemic. See

West Town Lane crossing the Brislington Brook
A large stone bridge carries the busy traffic along past the school as the brook slips underneath. A date stone in the middle of the southern parapet has been largely ruined by weathering, but the dates 1928 and 1957 are still legible - presumably the dates of building and rebuilding.

Repent and don't dump rubbish the water
The Brislington Brook is managed by a number of conduits, tunnels and pathways. Such a secluded spot is merely metres from the busy road, but affords the chance to dump old appliances in it. Others find it a place for evangelism.

Up the side of the school
A lane allows scholars and their parents to access the school. It is fairly close to the original footpath that used to run across West Town Farm, which used to occupy the site that the school does now.

Two heads are wetter than one
The Brislington Brook joins forces here with another stream at the back of West Town Academy school. The long straight concrete channelling indicates how the brook has been re-directed when the area was being redeveloped in the post war era.

Basking on the brook
The Brislington Brook gently trickles along as the mallards bask, some on the embankment by the path.
