A cut mark (as described in the Benchmark Database: http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm39809 ), on the end of a house beside the converted church. See [[[2655399]]] for a wider view of the roadworks currently going on to rebuild the small bridge over the railway.

Roadworks have spread from the railway bridge to the left of shot and into the junction. A benchmark can be found on the end of the house to the right; see [[[2655392]]].

Dist:0.1km<br/>The small commuter stop before Bath Spa makes an effort to brighten up the travelling experience. The floral and stone display features a steam train and what appears to be a pig on the left. Perhaps a reference to King Bladud's? Compare with [[[1771333]]] from Nigel Mykura.

Dist:0.1km<br/>A nicely defined cutmark demonstrates not only the original precision but also the quality of the stone used in this unassuming suburban street. See http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm39810 for the Benchmark Database, and [[[2655417]]] for a wider view.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Looking southwards along the street, there is a benchmark on the entrance to the small alleyway with the black railings- see [[[2655406]]].

Dist:0.1km<br/>A local train approaching Brook Road bridge on the main Bristol to Bath line. Oldfield Park Station is behind the camera on the other side of the bridge. The next bridge is on Bellott's Road where the Somerset & Dorset line from Bath Green Park crossed over this line before it was closed.

Dist:0.2km<br/>A typical terrace row of houses that run alongside the main GWR railway line, in Oldfield Park, Bath. The narrow lane is navigable by motor vehicles for only a short stretch before it becomes too restricted. A benchmark can be found on the yellow wall: [[[2652805]]].

Dist:0.2km<br/>Despite a new coat of paint, this cutmark (as listed on the Benchmark Database: http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm23464 ) is still clearly visible. Interestingly, it is situated at the end of a terrace and facing towards the railway track. See [[[2652811]]] for a view alongside the line.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This shopping street still contains a wide variety of shops including a bookshop, a jeweller's and those rarities, a butcher's and a post office. If your desire is to drink in a pub with walls made of square glass blocks, the Livingstone awaits you.
