Nailsea Tithe Barn

It's official ... to accompany our Christmas tour, @jackieoates and I are launching a brand new studio album 'A Midwinter's Night' - an acoustic take on the darkest season of the year featuring lesser-known folk carols and tunes from England and beyond. jackieoatesandjohnspiers.bandcamp.com

@Nailsea_TitheB 5/ The walk takes in many more historic buildings from this part of Nailsea and talks about the town's early industrial heritage including coal mining and tanneries (which supplied leather to a boot, clog and shoe industry from the 17th to 19th centuries).

@Nailsea_TitheB Further along this trail on Union Street, you’ll come to the former Ebenezer Primitive Methodist Chapel, built in 1856. It's home to Nailsea Theatre Club (Nailsea Little Theatre), who use it for rehearsals, scenery building, social events & productions. maps.bristol.gov.uk/kyp/?edition=n… 4/

Opposite the church you’ll find @Nailsea_TitheB, which is Grade II* listed and was built in the late 15th or early 16th century. It was altered In 1791-92 when it was converted into a school by Hannah More. maps.bristol.gov.uk/kyp/?edition=n… 3/

We’re leaving the coast & heading inland to discover some different heritage walks & trails, starting with ‘Delving into Nailsea’s industrial heritage’. The walk was created by Nailsea & District Heritage Society and was shared by @NorthSomersetC. maps.bristol.gov.uk/kyp/?edition=n… 1/

We loved seeing Colin’s story of being an evacuee, his friend Tom and the little red car on @TheRepairShop today. Colin was a member of our education team for many years (recently retired as he’s just turned 90!) Wonderful stuff!! bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
