Dist:0.1km<br/>Using the trigpoint pillar as a convenient camera support we have a clear view of the gasholders near Windsor Bridge between Upper Bristol Road and Lower Bristol Road. Royal Victoria Park and High Common give a rural appearance.

Dist:0.2km<br/>My Geographia plan of the City of Bath names this site "High Barrow Hill" while OS Explorer 155 has the name "Southdown" printed over it. The reference number TP6624, was allocated by the T:UK website http://www.trigpointinguk.com/ because they did not have access to the official numbers at the time. The number on the identification plate attached to the pillar, which is the official number(!) is S3230. Information supplied by Barry Hunter.

Dist:0.3km<br/>On Whiteway Road, not too promising from this side but some fine views to the south west on the other. Almost good enough to make you forget whose round it is.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Following the disastrous fire, the structure was too dangerous to maintain and so was knocked down. Fortunately the house next door was not affected. See [[[2553205]]], [[[2553197]]] and [[[2553229]]] for more pictures.

Dist:0.3km<br/>In the small hours of July 12th, a fire broke out in the Jubilee Inn - evidently arson. Having been closed for about two years, it may have been inevitable but the ensuing blaze took out most of both the original building and later extension; the remains were so badly affected, demolition was the only course of action. The pub was put up for sale in 2009, for some £600,000 and the possibility of turning it into retail or a care home. However, new landlords were not forthcoming, and events took a different turn. Compare the picture with that of Maurice Pullin's from 2008 - [[[882594]]]. Also see [[[2553205]]] and [[[2553234]]] for more views of the destruction.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Part of what was once the Jubilee Inn, following the fire that lead to its demolition. See [[[2553234]]], [[[2553197]]] and [[[2553229]]] for an exterior shot.
