IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Woolavington Road, BRIDGWATER, TA7 8BE

Puriton's old Congregational Chapel, now a private residence.

A pair of pre-Worboys road signs in Puriton have been subjected to some deterioration.

The current venue is a modern one; previously, the office was a few yards down Middle Street nearer the crossroads.

This junction with its old road signs in the centre of the village marks where the road south to the A39 leaves the road from Puriton to Woolavington.

Locally-made ironwork is not so common these days. Edmund Millard started with a smithy in Bridgwater and grew it into the Bath Bridge Engineering Works by the 1890s. In 1924, the firm became part of Bale, Millard and Sons, so this cover may be a lot older than it might seem.

Some Spring greenery, right beside some recycling.

Some Pre-Worboys, some modern, some utility, some home spun.

The lane is not for wheeled transport. The sign is an old-fashioned type with a solid red circle and a notice below - long since discontinued. Interestingly, the other end of the lane also has a similar sign.

There are already two photos of this fine gateway on the site, Image and Image I apologise for adding another, but 1) I've included part of the village lane named Rye on the left, leading up Rye Green by the church, and 2) here is a link to the listed building description https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1296223 , which begins "Probably C18, though may incorporate some C15/C16 material. Painted freestone. Neo-Perpendicular." Rather dismissively, the description states that "Puriton Manor {visible in both the other images} is not of special interest".
