Tytherington, Gloucestershire

Tytherington is a village in South Gloucestershire, England. The quarry to the west belongs to Hanson plc. The parish population taken at the 2011 census was 666.

The former Yate to Thornbury railway branch line passes nearby, with two bridges in the village and a tank engine near the quarry entrance as reminders of the railway. The line now ends at the quarry and is used for the transport of stone, but used to continue through a tunnel under the A38, to Thornbury. Tytherington had its own small station on the single track line: it opened in 1872 and closed to passengers in 1944.

In the village there is a park, a former primary school (now used as the village hall), the Swan public house, a community shop, a church and a Baptist chapel. The community shop has a Post Office branch which has now reopened after being under threat of closure.

To the north-east of the village stands Tytherington Hill (grid reference ST675887), with views east to the Cotswold Edge, and to the north are Cutts Heath and Milbury Heath.

Someone Else In Mind

by: Washington

I wanna be the better man by far
But the air is thin up here
On the higher ground
Above the clouds
You are my fall
And I am your own religion
And I don't know why but I hate you, I hate you
And I don't know how but you keep me staring at your fingers
Fighting with my mind, but you've got someone else in mind
And oh my god, I can't believe it's true
I leave it up, I leave it up to you
And I've got, oh I've got so much time
And I've got, oh I've got so much time
But you've got someone else in mind
And oh my god, I can't believe it's true
I leave it up, oh I leave it up to you
And I've got, oh I've got so much time
