This area is now submerged as Herons Green Bay under the waters of the Chew Valley Lake owned by Bristol Water. Chew Valley Lake (grid reference ST5659) is a large reservoir in the Chew Valley, Somerset, England, and the fifth-largest artificial lake in the United Kingdom (the largest in south-west England), with an area of 1,200 acres (4.9 km²). The lake, created in the early 1950s and opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1956, provides much of the drinking water for the city of Bristol and surrounding area, taking its supply from the Mendip Hills. Some of the water from the lake is used to maintain the flow in the River Chew. For further details see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chew_Valley_Lake

It's nice to have these photos from what must have been preparatory work for the Lake, albeit their condition is mostly poor. We’ll update the catalogue with your new location data and post the revised record here in due course.
