Almondbury Sports and Social Club
The sports ground is behind the club house, situated by the A38 a few hundred yards from the M5 junction.
RAC control centre, Bristol
The tower at the Bristol RAC control centre will be a familiar sight to motorists using the M4/M5 at the Almondsbury interchange, north Bristol. This is a view looking north, with the M5 off to the left.
Bowl Inn, Almondsbury
Despite its proximity to the northern edge of Bristol's suburbs and the M4/M5 intersection, Almondsbury retains a rural air. The Bowl is a traditional village pub - seen here from the church gate.
Patchway & RCA Tower
This aerial view of the RAC Tower and the M5 in the distance was taken from a 200ft Cellular Tower within the grounds of the Orange mobile telephone network. (The mast had just been built and was not in service). Thanks due to Orange's Technical Englineering Department for access, and the safety gear!
Tower House, Almondsbury
This late 19th century community hall was converted to 'Almondsbury Hospital' in the early 20th century and continued to be used as such until 1996. Tower House was then taken into private ownership and converted into a modern day dwelling.
View from Avon Scout Camp
Looking across the fields towards the Second Severn Crossing (centre of which is about ST5186), on a lovely summer evening. The M4 passes through this photo, and a motorway sign can just be seen near the middle of the photograph. The ground this side of the first set of pylon wires is in the grid square.
Campfire at Woodhouse Park
Woodhouse Park is run by the Avon Scouts but is available for other groups to use. Here is a group enjoying a campfire on a summer's evening.
