Portishead and District Archaeology Group

We are a small but enthusiastic group dedicated to the exploration, recording and preservation of the archaeological and historical heritage in Portishead and the Gordano Valley.

If you would like to join us please email donovan.hawley@virgin.net or call 01275 845403 (evenings only).

As part of our research programme we are currently recording a limekiln in Valley Road, just below Portishead Recycling Centre. If anyone could throw some light on the history of this enigmatic structure we would be glad to hear from you, please contact the email or number above.
