  • 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.

  • Saltford, Corston and Newton St Loe Three Parishes Newsletter May 2016
    Saltford, Corston and Newton St Loe Three Parishes Newsletter May 2016 Dear Friends As a Benefice we have always supported the local charity Send a Cow whose offices are based in Newton St Loe. Earlier in the spring we received a letter thanking us for our support, and telling us about the difference our contributions has made and it shared with us the true story of Ammanual, which I would like to share with you. Ann Hatton, Church development Manager for Send a Cow writes: We shared with you the story of Ammanuel and his family. Their struggle to eke out a living from their small plot of land had left Ammanuel hopeless. They depended on their crop of maize to survive, but when this failed they could barely feed their small children one meal a day. Without hope Ammanuel couldn’t see a future for his family, even though the answer was right on his doorstep. Ammanuel’s neighbour, Abebe, has been working with us for three years, and in that time he has worked hard to transform his land. Now he produces enough vegetables to feed his family and with a surplus to sell he can afford to send his children to school. Ammanuel and his wife, Felekech, desperately needed hope that they too could change their future. Thanks to your support we can give them, and 200,000 people like them, the tools and training they need for their hope to grow. I’m so pleased to tell you how Ammanuel’s life has already started to change.

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.

The Bristol And Bath Railway Path was built between 1979 and 1986 by the cycling charity Sustrans, which leased a five-mile (8.0 km) stretch of disused railway line near Saltford, with the help of the then Avon County Council, and using volunteers, to turn it into its first cycleway. The path follows the route of the Midland Railway Mangotsfield and Bath line, which was closed during the Beeching Axe of the 1960s in favour of the more direct former Great Western Railway between the cities.
