Netham lock.

This lock is at the entrance to the Bristol Harbour feeder canal, off the river Avon. It is one of the few locks left with a keeper, as it is necessary to purchase a permit to enter the harbour.

Head for Heights

This two-stage footbridge across the M32 at Baptist Mills, Bristol, is quite narrow and open to the elements. Not a crossing for those suffering from vertigo. The red brick building behind it is St. Werburgh's Community Hall.

Downwind of Bristol, this area was long home to noxious chemical industries. The housing development on the right bank is the former site of the Crew's Hole Tar Works.
