Hi Chris, bought the book from Nynehead books Sunday, arrived this morning Wed. Well researched and very informative with a good supply of pictures and maps. Di and Saul Books is run by Diane Hempsall and Saul Staniforth, and is based in Lancashire in the United Kingdom. We recently took delivery of three of the Scammell training films from the IWM. The quality of them is top hole. And what about those fabulous pre war petrol filling stations where vehicles drove in underneath and the pumps were located inline with the pillars holding up the overhead first floor structure. Some exist down in Devon on the old A38 and elsewhere, more than likely now with a car dealership or some other non automotive function now in place.

Somewhere in that company, the old Logo was found, that used to be on the Brentford building. Unfortunately, it had deteriorated quite a bit, but it now is restored and is due to get a place of honour again. Now there are a lot of stories about the Brentford building, but unfortunately not much proof.James Green’s lifts were possibly the first of its kind in the World and came and went some 10 years before the Anderton Boat Lift was even built!

It is also part of the Taunton Deane county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election. For local government purposes, since 1 April 2023, the village comes under the unitary authority of Somerset Council. Prior to this, it was part of the non-metropolitan district of Somerset West and Taunton (formed on 1 April 2019) and, before this, the district of Taunton Deane (established under the Local Government Act 1972). From 1894-1974, for local government purposes, Nynehead was part of Wellington Rural District. [8]

Would you believe he built 7 of these substantial structures, but the remains at Nynehead are the most we have left of them.

Archive footage is the speciality of Roundoak programmes made by Nynehead’s Robin Pearson. Old Pond has been able to offer the popular Bedford DVD for a number of years. The other titles are new to Old Pond distribution.
