Another local church was Clay Hill Chapel which was demolished when the industrial estates were built.
Industry
Over many years, the Market Gardens became housing, White's Brick Works became Somers Wood Yard (now an industrial pallet site) - where many older people will remember going as children to collect a sack or trolley full of firewood - and Deep Pit Colliery became industrial estates. When Deep Pit closed, men were having to walk underground as far as Frenchay, to reach the coal face!
Housing
Crofts End House, located at the junction of Plummer's Hill and Whitehall Avenue, still exists, but no longer as a single dwelling. Frenchay is a suburb of Bristol, England, to the north east of the city but located mainly in South Gloucestershire and the Civil Parish of Winterbourne It has been refurbished and is now part of a housing association development.
Currently the area is undergoing more change as the majority of 'prefabs' (built by American Service-men as post war housing) in the locality have been demolished. Prefabricated homes, often referred to as prefab homes, are dwellings manufactured off-site in advance usually in standard sections that can be easily shipped and assembled The United States Armed Forces are the overall unified military forces of the United States These had large gardens surrounding each property and so current planning applications will replace these with many more mixed style, more cost effective housing.
