Home to the notorious Kingswood Miners and infamous Cock Road Gang this is what Kingswood, North of Bristol, looked like in 1610. ‘London Waye’ is now the A420 and Bath Waye is the A431.

    Very interesting, my Ancestors were Miners in and around Bitton and Siston, I’d be very interested to know more about Mining in the area.
