Some industrial archaeology here. A very clear soil horizon with a thin stony and very brightly-coloured layer separating grey soils with lots of gravel.
This is near the top of a railway embankment on the former Midland Railway branch from Mangotsfield to Bath, now used by both the Avon Valley Railway and the Bristol-Bath cycle path. A path down from the cycle path to the Avon riverbank has exposed this section, revealing something of the construction of the embankment.
I have no idea or justification for why I took this. A momentary madness. Or perhaps just a little present for Dan Bovenzi :-)
Built 1932 by the Sassoons.
Top 3 floors where adder later (end of 1970s?).

This approach embankment to a new highway bridge is under construction. There is erosion and instability of the slide slopes dues to water ponding in a coarse soil layer that will form the sub-base of the new road.
We walked back from Faraday House to Osmosoft towers. A minute earlier it was bucketing with rain. Then the sun came out. And Jeremy's phone rang.
Tsunami went over it to destroy a huge embankment.

Embankment, Bakerloo Line. The same style of roundel also adorns the Northern & District and Circle Line platforms as this station was refurbished all at once in the early 1980's.
The roundels form part of the platform covering. The Bakerloo Line platforms for example used to carry Yerkes tyle tiling when the station was once known as Charing Cross.
