Dist:0.3km<br/>Then on to Longwell Green, Willsbridge, Kelston and Bath.
The Hanham Motor Company offers drive in M.O.T's, you can buy laminate floors on the other side of the road and if you look closely at the larger version you may receive the salute from a very smart Trooper.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Possibly miner's cottages though there were quarries in the area as well. Many a year since miners or quarry workers lived in them, much improved since then inside and out.

Dist:0.4km<br/>A mixture of houses and other buildings of varying ages from the old cottages on the left, probably used by coal miners from the Troopers Hill mine to the modern houses further down the hill, the enlarged version gives more detail at the bottom.
The No.44 bus is on its way to the City Centre.
Away in the distance, almost centre, Kelston Round Hill is recognisable on the skyline. [[ST7167]]

Dist:0.7km<br/>Newly opened Wetherspoons pub on High Street; bar to right, drinking and eating areas left and back, patio. Five cask ales on offer at my visit.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Troopers Hill is steep all the way down from Air Balloon Road to Crew's Hole Road at the bottom, this is the really steep bit.
The footpath on the right leads to Troopers Hill proper, an area where coal and copper were mined and clay for bricks was quarried. It is now a nature reserve.

Houses in St. Anne's Park on the other side of the Bristol Avon are seen in the background.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Crew's Hole Road is at the bottom, Air Balloon Road and Nags Head Hill on the A431 at the top.
The gentle slope of Troopers Hill is to the left, an area made interesting by mining, slag heaps and quarries now a nature reserve. Worth a visit on a fine clear day.

Dist:0.7km<br/>With a good mixture of small businesses.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The pub is still there but this steam engine has been taken for private preservation. It is a C Isler steam driven compressor from Crew's Hole, Tar Distillery. This distillery was commenced by I K Brunel in 1843 to produce a preservative for the GWR sleepers. It was latterly owned by British Steel Corporation and closed in 1981. The quayside village also shown in this square is on the site of the works.
