Frome Diversion
River works improve Bristol harbour access and medieval trade.
Frome Navigation Channel Widened
The approach upstream of the new harbour channel was widened to accommodate vessels and cargo handling. The improvement addressed a specific constraint in river engineering.
Medieval Frome Diversion Advances Harbour
Bristol diverted the Frome through low ground to create a longer tidal quay serving ocean going ships. Its legacy can be traced in the layout of the city waterfront.
River Confluence Repositioned At Bristol
Engineering changed where the Frome joined the Avon and reshaped Bristol waterfront geography. It changed the balance between navigation and flood control.
Saint Augustine Trench Excavation
Workers cut a new river channel through land associated with Saint Augustine Abbey to redirect the Frome toward the Avon. This altered the relationship between the river and urban buildings.
