Cromhall crossroads
This part of the village lies right on the Bristol Road, but is a fairly new addition to the landscape. In earlier years the road was a few metres to the east but the realignment on the 1950s gave the chance to create this small but pleasant little grassed area. On the short wall is a benchmark of similar vintage - see Image
