Back in 1968 it looked a little different.

From Severn Railway Bridge and Purton

Ebley Mill in the evening sun with the foreground blocked off by a builders screen. This might be the last opportunity to get this viewpoint because it looks like something big is going to be built.

And this is the same view in the mid 1960s showing a lot of rubble in the foreground Notice that the chimney used to be black and without the flare at the top.
