An unusual and particularly modern stile to aid access to the playground.

The trees shield the users from the large industrial estate beyond.

The oldest building in Nailsea, now nicely restored.

Located in the southern part of the town, within staggering distance of the church. It was in a fairly rural area until Nailsea's massive expansion of housing post-war.

The barn appears to date from about 1480 and served a small collective of farmers and gardeners. It predates Holy Trinity church opposite by a good few decades, but may indicate how Nailsea began to grow with coal seams being worked with more effort. It stored food for much of its time until forthright bluestocking Hannah Moore arrived in 1791 and was appalled at the deprivation and lack of education of the children. With her input the site became a school, with a master. In modern times the barn has been refurbished into a community asset and hall. Note the putlog holes in the exterior wall.

Holy Trinity viewed from ground level: to quote Historic England it has a '3-light window above with hood mould and mask stops, 2nd stage has similar smaller 2-light window all sides, 3rd stage has 2-light bell-openings with stone tracery and hood mould, similar openings at 4th stage'.

Old Nailsea's landmarks: the Tithe Barn (now a community hall) and Holy Trinity church. Both are several hundred years old.

A classic K6 telephone box appears to have an actual phone in it. Close by is the notice board. Behind is the mediaeval Tithe Barn, the former school and now a community hub.
