Dist:0.2km<br/>Once there used to be a flush bracket here, but it seems to have been lost. However, a simple cutmark has been made close to the original position, although its date may be several years apart. See http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm786 for the Benchmark Database.

Dist:0.6km<br/>A useful bridge (probably built around 1933) that allows foot traffic onto Bedminster Down while the railway line above it carries trains to the major south-west towns. The name of the road comes from one of the largest of the area's coal mines, which was worked from the mid-eighteenth century until 1924.

Dist:0.8km<br/>A modern housing development is taking shape along South Liberty Lane. 'Bluebell Drive' will soon be home to dozens of families, having replaced a number of prefabs that were occupying this part of south Bristol. Indeed, one or two of the homely little houses are still close by, the occupants having bought and improved them considerably.

Dist:0.9km<br/>The eastern end of South Liberty Lane trading estate has a board to identify the various companies. See [[[2610724]]] and [[[2610697]]] for more views. The road is named after the South Liberty coal mine, which was further west and produced coal from the mid eighteenth century right up until 1925.

Dist:0.9km<br/>The Malago is a quiet and unassuming stream most of the time. However, during the great flood of July 1968 it became a massive torrent and caused severe damage further into Bedminster. The Malago was then subject to major defence schemes - hence the storm Interceptor at the bottom of the Manor valley, built in the early 70s. See [[[2815283]]] for the upper section.

Dist:0.9km<br/>A tree clings onto the steep, eroded banks above the Malago. Any more soil loss and it will end up in the drink.
