  1. 1) The remains of Golden Valley Red Ochre Factory
    2) A patch of the raw material, nearby
    3) A plaque commemorating the Works.
    It closed in 1970, after a severe flood of R. Boyd (which had powered the works).

  2. The remains of the Ochre Factory, in Golden Valley, South Glos. It closed after the disastrous flood of 1969 (or so said the noticeboard).
