Now submerged within Avon Dam Reservoir, this blowing house is situated at Brockhill Foot. NGR is an estimate.

Eric Hemery (1983) writes: “Brockhill Foot lies near; above it on the submerged left bank, is a fine blowing-house which I photographed on 24th May 1955. It had massive walls, and its dimensions, 32 1/2 feet by seventeen feet, were suggestive of its use well into the late blowing-house era of the seventeenth century.
