Dist:0.3km<br/>Yet another pub bites the dust... Whereas so many, however, disappear quietly with local people shrugging their shoulders, this one seems to have caused quite a stir with the local MP, Charlotte Leslie, fronting a campaign to persuade its owners, Enterprise Inns, to reopen or sell the pub at a realistic price. The potential ought to be there with its enviable views across the River Avon.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Survey bolt near Shirehampton Sailing Clubhouse (http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2272545 ). This is believed to be a transfer bolt, to allow the continuation of a survey levelling across the River Avon to a similar bolt on the Pill side of the river. See http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm24975 for details.
