Start point Queen Square Distance: 1.3 miles, circular walk Going: Easy; some steps and short hills Facilities: The Bird In Hand Toilets at The Shallows car park Saltford Walk 5 – Village footpaths, Brass Mill and The Shallows Walk up the High Street and just after Homefield Close turn left into the public footpath by the side of no. 16 (1). Shortly the path reaches the side of the railway cutting. Keep on this path, ignoring side paths to the left and right. This path, formerly known as The Mallows / Mallis, went from this point across the ‘Home Field’ to a stile at the top of Saltford Hill. When the GWR railway was built, the path was diverted to the route you are now following. The Home Field has been described as ‘the playground of Saltford in olden days’.1 As you look over the railway cutting towards the Kingfisher Lodge Care Centre, you get a good impression of just how much rock and soil must have been removed when the cutting and tunnel were dug – all by hand of course - back in 1836. Just past the bridge over the railway (that leads to the A4 at the top of Saltford Hill) (2), turn sharp left, over the stone stile, and down the steps to the road at the bottom.

  • Saltford Brass Mill Project
    SALTFORD BRASS MILL PROJECT Trustees Annual Report 01 2017 This report covers the 2017 operating period and preparations for 2018 Aim 1. This is the first annual report of the trustees of the Saltford Brass Mill Project. The project group was formed in 1997 to maintain the mill, interpret the history of the brass industry and open the mill to the public. Since its formation, the project has operated as an unincorporated organisation. 2. As reported in 2017, the project intended to register as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). One advantage of being a CIO would enable SBMP to enter into a more formal agreement with B&NES for the pursuance of the aims of the project, B&NES only being able to enter into an agreement with a legally recognised organisation. 3. The Saltford Brass Mill Project was entered onto the Register of Charities with the Registered Charity Number 1174901 on 27th September 2017. A draft agreement between the SBMP and B&NES has been produced and is under consideration with B&NES legal department and executive committee. Charitable Purpose 4. The Charitable Purpose of the Saltford Brass Mill Project are: a. The preservation and maintenance of the Saltford Brass Mill, on the river Avon in Somerset, for the public benefit. b. To advance the education of the public in the subject of the Mill. c. For the public benefit to advance education in the history of the brass industry in North East Somerset and the Bristol region by facilitating and supporting research into the industry, its working method and people involved.

  • 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.

  • SAFA Excursion
    SOCIETY OF AFRICANIST ARCHAEOLOGISTS 25th BIENNIAL MEETING: AFRICAN ARCHAEOLOGY — A 20:20 VISION FOR THE FUTURE Conference Excursions 1. Bristol Led by Prof. Mark Horton, an Africanist with extensive experience in the historical archaeology of Bristol and the Caribbean, this excursion will visit the urban landscape of Bristol, a little over an hour to the west of Oxford and a major centre for both the trans-Atlantic slave trade and continuing debates over its legacy (e.g. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-47670756). Travel to and from Bristol will be by train, departing at 9.20 a.m. from Oxford railway station. Those taking part will be met at Bristol Temple Meads station by Prof. Horton and returned in time to catch an early evening train back to Oxford. Later departures are also available for those wanting to stay longer. The tour will begin with a trip by ferry through Bristol’s harbour (https://www.bristolferry.com/our-fleet/emily/) followed by a guided walk (±75 minutes) through its city centre taking in sites on the city’s recently developed Slavery Trail (https://geographical.co.uk/uk/discovering-britain/item/3000-walking- bristol-s-slave-trade and https://www.victoriacountyhistory.ac.uk/explore/collection/bristol-slavery-trail). After lunch (which does not form part of the excursion price) the tour will resume with a visit to the M Shed Museum and the newly installed CARGO art exhibition on College Green, which offers an ‘alternative narrative’ to the trans-Atlantic slave trade (https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/cargo-bristols-biggest-art- event-3412104).
