Siston Brook entering the Avon at Londonderry Wharf

This was once a busy coal wharf, which is presumably why the brook is bridged twice in a short distance.

Warmley. South Gloucestershire, Independent Methodist Church

The rock-faced frontage to the mainroad could mean a house but the side windows and the later extension to the rear gives the game away (apart from the signs that is too!)
