Tide out, Where the Trym meets the Avon, Sea Mills Station. Carolyn Lamb 25 July 2017 watercolour. 9x12".
Last weeks painting spots are only 1.2 miles apart. The River Trym joins the River Avon at Sea Mills where remains of the 18th century Sea Mills Dock walls remain below the iron railway bridge serving the Severn Beach Line. Fly across the river for 1.2 miles and over the brow of the green field on the right of my watercolour and you get to Ham Green House.  But because of the River Avon it is 8.3 miles by car.
My second picture is the Gothic Folly at Ham Green House, looking  towards Kingsweston Down and Horseshoe bend on the River Avon. It was built around 1760, accredited to architect James Bridges who rebuilt St Nicholas Church and Bristol Bridge. The folly has been restored by Penny Brohn Cancer Care, the current owners of Ham Green House.
