Pensford Local History Group (PLHG) “Open Day”
Date: Saturday 22nd October 2022
Time: 2:00pm to 5:00pm
Venue: Pensford Memorial Hall, Publow Lane, Pensford, BS39 4HW
Cost: £2.50 admission
The PLHG has an exciting afternoon planned where you can come along and see what projects the PLHG has been busy working on over the last few years (some are now completed whilst others are still ongoing). Come along and chat with the people involved.
The main attraction will be the “Robert Bailey Collection” where we will have several hundred images for people to browse through as well as a number of slideshows which will start at 2:15pm and run every 30 minutes throughout the afternoon. We will also have a stand available displaying the remaining Paintings and Drawings by the late Robert Bailey.
In addition, come and see what’s in the pipeline with the current “Places of Worship” project and what it’s all about. We will also have a stand where you can buy a copy of the “We Remember It Well” flood book for £5.00 and, if you haven’t yet seen or picked up a copy of one of the three Walk Booklets launched in 2018, come and pick one up (donations gratefully accepted) as they are full of interesting information. We will also have an exhibition on “100 Years of Pensford Schools”.
And if all of this makes you thirsty and hungry, there will be a wonderful selection of refreshments available, in partnership with All Saints’ Church.

Pensford Local History Group is tentatively resuming their talks programme, and have arranged three talks during the autumn. The timetable appears below
If you missed the public meeting in Pensford, here is a further chance to find out more.
POKE is representing our local communities to fight the proposed supersize industrial scale food digester plant between Pensford and Keynsham. If approved, this plant would have potential to blight our local roads and quality of life.
Although the local council unanimously refused the original planning application, it is now necessary to fight an appeal lodged by the developer. This appeal will be determined by a government inspector (not by our local council).
This is an important meeting for anyone with concerns about this development. If you want to help preserve your local environment and quality of life, please do attend:
Date: Thursday (28th July)
Venue: Whitchurch United Reformed Church, 24 Bristol Road, Whitchurch Village, Bristol, BS14 0PQ,
Time: 7pm
Everyone welcome.
BS14 0PQ, Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, England, United Kingdom

THE MINERS COFFEE SHOP here in Pensford has very kindly agreed to display and sell some of the framed artworks by the late Robert Bailey. A small selection at a time will be on display to view and / or purchase and these will be rotated on a regular basis. Donations of frames from a few local people have enabled us to frame an additional 31 artworks and we hope that they are much more appealing and will generate even more money for donation to both All Saints’ Church and the Pensford Local History Group (PLHG). So please, pop in to The Miners for a drink and / or a snack and have a look at what’s available.
And also, to let everyone know, the PLHG will have another stall at the Church Market at All Saints’ Church in Publow (BS39 4HP) on Saturday 1st October 2022 from 10:00am to 11:30am. We look forward to seeing you there.
