School's out for good
Somerton Infant School closed in 2014. The King Ina school had two sites at either end of the town so plans were made to create a new school facility in the Northfield development.

Etsome Memorial Garden
This small play area on Etsome Terrace stands between the fire station and the school buildings. However, from 1927 this area was the milk factory, which was bombed in an air raid in 1942. The factory carried on until the 1960s until the firm went elsewhere, leaving a landmark chimney for demolition.
As a tribute to the people killed in the war, this garden and entrance gate was built.

Etsome Terrace memorial stone
In the twentieth century this site in Somerton was home to the Cow and Gate milk factory. On 29th September, 1942, a German air raid attacked Bristol but one lone aircraft struck here. Flying at low level it dropped four time-fused bombs which landed on the factory; the fuses were short and the blasts killed nine employees. Their names are dedicated on this stone.

Above Behind Berry
The old part of Somerton with an odd name, Behind Berry, also holds an odd sight: above the telegraph pole is an artificial bird, attached to the top. See Image] for a better look at it.

A stuffed bird on top of the pole
This telegraph pole in downtown Somerton has an artificial bird attached to the top, presumably to deter real birds from causing problems. See Image] for a location view.
