Dist:0.3km<br/>The building, listed grade II, is not in a good state. Built in 1843, it is described at http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=28707&mode=adv . Buddleia is the principal tenant. According to http://derelictmisc.org.uk/wesley.html , which gives further images, it was a dance school after being desconsecrated. You'd be unwise to try dancing here at the moment.

Dist:0.3km<br/>In Regent Street (on the A420) in Kingswood. Looking east past Kingswood's elegant clock tower while standing on the opposite side of the road from the King's Chase Shopping Centre. The right-turn in the foreground is into Moravian Road.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The exterior of [[1775637]] at least gives a hint of neo-classical grace, with the modillions on the corner pilasters http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=28707&resourceID=5 .

Dist:0.4km<br/>Not sure if this is an industrial area which became part residential or vice-versa. Probably both together.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The three-storey tower on Regent Street was built in 1897 for Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee, and looks thoroughly distinctive with its red brick central stage and lipped slate roof with dormers, a curious mix of the classical and gothic http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=MSG7278&resourceID=1007 .

Dist:0.5km<br/>The history of King's Wood dates back to Saxon times as a royal forest. - o OO o - "A Barbarous And Ungovernable People - A Short History Of The Miners Of The Kingswood Forest" Read more about it in: http://www.brh.org.uk/publications.html#p11 "In the 18th century Kingswood was a small coal mining village where George Whitefield's open-air preaching greatly influenced John Wesley in the founding of Methodism." The above was copied from: http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/kingswood/Aardman-help-animate-Kingswood-history/article-1296592-detail/article.html

Dist:0.5km<br/>This path runs alongside the listed wall at the edge of the churchyard of [[95936]], ending at the High Street. "The graveyard wall to west is original about 5-6 ft high pennant rubble with ironstone and oceas pennant buttresses" http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=28729&mode=adv . I have no idea what "oceas" means.
