                    It is on the way to a very well-known tourist destination where it doesn't matter if it's wet when you get there as there is as much to see below ground as above. The goats play a very important part in the maintenance of the area nowadays.

Budding young artists from Fairlands Middle School in Cheddar were guests of honour this week alongside David Bradley, CEO from Longleat Enterprises Ltd and community artist Richard Blaker at the official launch of ‘The Wonders of the Gorge’ - a new themed mural at Cox’s Mill in Cheddar

                    Well done SteveH, it's in the village on the way up to the gorge. We spent a few days in Weston-super-Mare last week, and visited Cheddar,Wells and Glastonbury (where you can still see survivors of the sixties going about their business barefoot and wearing flowers as if trapped in a timewarp), and also travelled from Bishop's Lydiart to Minehead on the West Somerset Railway on another day. What struck me in Weston was the Grand Pier which was burned down a few years ago and has now been completely rebuilt, and now charges £1 per person admission. Shows what can be done when you try. I'll put a few pics on the appropiate thread tomorrow.

 $thanx$  Gwynant.... sounds like a good "trip" ...8)
"completely rebuilt, and now charges £1 per person admission. Shows what can be done when you try."
I agree, great idea ....and if everybody knew it was for the "upkeep" of the pier, like a donation, I do not think there would be to many objections.

Yorkies first unintelligent guess. . . The last picture is Cheddar Gorge.   ZXZ

This may be too easy for some forum members but I came across the building when I had a walk this week.    Where is it?

This building was nearby and was built much later.

Not an orphanage and as far as I'm aware the house has always been a family home.
