  • Turnpike Roads of the Bristol Region a Preliminary Study
    BIAS JOURNAL No 1 1968 Turnpike Roads of the Bristol Region a preliminary study The system of road improvement known as turnpiking had its origins in the mid- seventeenth century when an Act was passed in 1663 for the repair to the Old North Road in the counties of Hertford, Huntingdon and Cambridge, and for tolls to be levied at certain places to cover the costs of maintenance. Other roads were similarly dealt with in the succeeding years including that from London to Harwich in 1695-6 and two smaller stretches of road in Sussex and Gloucestershire shortly afterwards. The main period of expansion of this ‘movement’ did not occur until the second half of the eighteenth century and from then the turnpike system maintained its dominant position well into the railway era which was partly responsible for its death. Since the 1550s successive Highways Acts, based largely on the delegation of road repair responsibility to individual parishes, had failed to secure much of an improvement in general road conditions. The introduction of a simple commercial element, despite many abuses by turnpike trustees, brought about a marked improvement; most roads were getting the first regular, if unscientific, repair that they had ever had. The develop- ment of a systematic technology of road improvement and construction, in France by P.M.J. Tresaguet and later in Britain by engineers such as Metcalfe, Telford and McAdam meant that by the 1820s the major factor limiting road speeds was the capacity of the horse rather than the condition of the road surface. The Bristol region has a notable turnpike history.

  • The Saltford Brass Mill Project – a Decade of Industrial Archaeology
    The Saltford Brass Mill Project – A Decade of Industrial Archaeology Tony Coverdale, Chair, Saltford Brass Mill Project Introduction Saltford Brass Mill is a Scheduled Monument and Grade II* listed building located on the River Avon mid-way between Bath and Bristol1. The mill, which is adjacent to Kelston Weir which provided its power source, was in operation as a water-powered brass-battery and rolling-mill from 1721 until 1925. But Saltford mill was not an isolated facility; it was part of a conglomeration of metal-working sites operated by the Bristol Brass Company which smelted copper, melted brass, produced brass pans, kettles, sheet metal and wire, and transported those materials to Bristol for export. The company traded under various names including: the ‘Bristol Brass Company’; the ‘Bristol Brass and Wire Company’; the ‘Brass Battery and Wire Company of Bristol Esher Upper Redbrook and Barton Regis ‘; and the ‘Harford and Bristol Brass Company’. The brass company was at its peak in the late 1700s but contracted dramatically in the early 1800s as its overseas markets diminished and the company was subject to competition from Birmingham. By 1814, the company had reduced from nine sites to three: Avon Mill and Chew Mill in Keynsham and Saltford Mill. Harfords advertised the company for sale in 1828 and eventually leased the company to Charles Ludlow Walker in 1833. By 1855 Saltford Mill was described as ‘old and decaying’. Further attempts were made to sell the company which was eventually bought by the Bain brothers, Donald and David, in 1862. The brothers carried out some modernisation of Saltford Mill in 1881 allowing battery and rolling to continue for a number of years.
