Keith,
>From my schooldays, I'd say that Malago Vale was a flat-bottomed valley
through which the eponymous river flows on it's way to the Feeder Cut. Low,
flat-topped but steep hills to the South and St John's lane crossing
it......I think the site is (certainly was in 1964) a gas works/British Gas
site.
The Malago river features in one of the songs of deceased Somerset
folk-humorist-idiot Adge Cutler ("When the Moon shines down the
Malago....")!
regards,
Bill Krouwel
