In the Parliamentary constituencies we cover, we have seen marginal seats become safe Conservative seats and a Liberal Democrat minister lose his job. UKIP and the Green Party went from 'wasted votes' to significant minority parties. Locally, two councils which have had no overall control for the last eight years are now firmly in the hands of Conservative councillors while Bristol, which elects a third of its council on an annual The count at Bath University basis, remains a hung administration. The vote for its elected mayor takes place next year.

  • 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.

    COorspttng Ptiorp. BY THE HEY. E. W. WEAVER, M.A., F.S.A. rr^HE Priorj of Worspring was founded by William de Courteney ; the exact date of the foundation is not known. The letter from the founder to Bishop Joscelyn is not dated, but in it the Bishop is called Bishop of Bath, which title seems to refer to the years between 1219 and 1242;^ at any rate it was a going concern in 1243, for in that year Prior Reginald died and Prior Richard succeeded him. It was dedi- cated to the B.y.M. and St. Thomas of Canterbury, and was a house of Canons Regular of the Rule of St. Augustine and of the Order of St. Victor. The letter of the founder to the Bishop points to the great monastery of the same order at Bristol as a kind of foster- mother to Worspring. Some of the Augustinian Monasteries were of the Rule of St. Victor : St. Augustine’s Abbey at Bristol, Keynsham Abbey, Stavordale Priory and Worspring Priory in Somerset, and Wormesley Priory in Herefordshire were all of this Rule. The Rule was named after the famous Abbey of St. Victor in Paris, which was founded by Louis VI in 1129. Gregory Rivius, in his Monastica Historia (Lipsiae, 1737, cap. 10, p. 26), gives a list of rules of the Canons Regular of St. Victor, and shews how their rule differed from that of St. Augustine. We ])rint below an Inspeximus taken from the Bath Cartu- lary (S.R.S., ^AI, ii, 58). In a note (260?i) the Rev.

The Avon Valley links the cities of Bath and Bristol. Half way along, in Saltford village, you can find four different routeways located within a stone’s throw of one another. There is a former stagecoach road, The Great Road, now the present A4 and one of Britain’s busiest A roads. There is the River Avon, which was converted into a canal in the eighteenth Cycle route sign century, although it is used now by narrow boats Rory Walsh © RGS-IBG Discovering Britain for holidays rather than by barges carrying coal. And there are two railway lines – Brunel’s Great Western Railway, still the main Bristol-London route, and the now-defunct Midland line, which was converted into Britain’s first Sustrans cycle track in the 1980s.
