More about this scene

We are looking along a rhyne, or ditch, across the Levels; little has changed here today. The Brent Knoll Inn, named after the 500ft hill that it faces, is still there. The shop on the Old Bristol Road to the right is now a wholesale ice cream and frozen food supplier's.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

The times spent at East Brent Church of England School in the village were very good. All our family went there except our eldest brother Roy, who went to the infants school which is now the village hall. We learnt more from the village school than any other school we went to, happy days.
