Lockdown in Sea Mills and Coombe Dingle

How have you been passing the time?

I’m sure we can’t wait for lockdown to be ancient history, it certainly must be a unique experience in all our lives. At Sea Mills 100 we thought it was something that needed documenting too as part of our history. What have you been doing to cope with the situation? How have you been passing the time? Are you working form home? Are you a Key Worker? Enjoying the garden? Home schooling your children? Starting a new hobby? Volunteering? Or just getting by? Send us your pictures or videos and we will include them here and / or on our social media to document this time in our lives.

  • Thank you NHS
  • A smile over Sea Mills
During lockdown Bristol City Council offered the Rugby ground in the Portway as an alternative, safer pitch for van dwellers who normally live by the Downs. These pictures were sent by Mike and Ibi, who have been keeping busy at the rugby ground. They have been collecting litter and drift wood from the river bank and making planters out of the drift wood to grow edible flowers, lettuces, wild flowers, tomatoes, thyme, mint, dill, coriander, basil and more. They’ve also made a few planters to give to other vehicle dwellers who are also growing plants and herbs. Welcome to Sea Mills!
