Dist:0.5km<br/>The baths, which are in the midst of allotments, opened in the 1930s and closed in 2005, and were on the market in 2008 with consent for demolition and redevelopment for 32 flats on four floors. Some internal shots at http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=64489 . In the foreground is Whitefield Road, the B4465. Behind is Roegate House, which has 83 flats.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Seen from near the top of the hill with Lodge Causeway at the bottom running to Fishponds. The stone built houses on the right pre-date the housing estate, mistly brick, which was built in the 1920/30's. The most obvious item further over is the Post Office Tower standing on Pur Down [[ST6176]] The distant hills, faint on the horizon, are on the other side of the Bristol Channel. "Lodge Causeway is an ancient passage through the former Royal Forest of Kingswood and now the main road between Fishponds and Kingswood in Bristol, England. The Causeway led to Kingswood Lodge at the top of Lodge Hill, recorded in use since Saxon times when kings used the forest for hunting whilst resident at the palace at Pucklechurch, where King Edmund was murdered by an outlaw in 946. It passes through the Fishponds suburbs of Hillfields, Mayfield Park and Chester Park." The above was copied from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lodge_Causeway

Dist:0.7km<br/>Near Chester Park, Bristol. This image fits loosely between [[1548892]] to the left and [[1548857]] to the right. The substantial fence in the foreground surrounds an electricity sub-station. The houses beyond are on Woodland Way. Further over stands the clock tower in the grounds of Blackberry Hill Hospital, formerly Bristol Mental Hospital, where some of the external scenes in "Casualty", a TV hospital series on BBC 1, were filmed. Now look a little higher on the screen and you will see, I hope, very faintly, what the authorities call the Second Severn Crossing taking the M4 from Redwick to Caldicot. (In fact it is the fifth Severn crossing, sixth at least if you go back to prehistoric times).

Dist:0.7km<br/>Cossham Hospital is behind the camera position. The fence in the foreground protects an electricity sub-station. Part of the Hillfields Park housing estate, built in the 1920's/30's, is seen followed by factory chimneys in Fishponds. The fine building to the left is the Dower House in the former Duches' Park, now part of Frenchay Hospital I believe. You Bristolians, especially those living locally will be able to pick out more landmarks including the towers of the Severn Road Bridge taking the M48 from Aust to Beachley [[ST5590]] (the M4 crosses about 2 miles further down).
