Private house now but was once a busy public house due to the building of the nearby canal in the early 1800s and then the railway in the early 1900s.
Also just up the road towards Bath used to be the site of the coal wharfs where coal was unloaded from canal boats and then taken on to Bath by wagon until the route of the Somerset Coal Canal to the link with the Kennet and Avon was complete, even after it was completed there was the passing canal traffic to catered for.
