Old Pit Garage
This modern building fronts what used to be a coal pit, hence the name. The village of Bishop Sutton lies just on the western fringe of the Somerset Coalfields and extraction is believed to have started in the early eighteenth century. The large woodland behind this garage was the location for a pit, although it was not the largest - they were at the other end of the village. Coal production was dwindling by the twentieth century and closed down.
