Abstract:		 Air photographs dating from 1945-7 and 1969 are used to identify the location, form in plan, and relation to local topography of historical fishtraps at the intertidal rock platforms known as Hayward Rock, Hills Flats, Oldbury Flats, Aust Rock and English Stones-Gravel Banks on the eastern side of the middle Severn Estuary. The photographs depict some structures apparently wholly of wood, many in which the use of wood and stone seems to have been combined, and a Jew which appear to be solely of stone. In plan the traps range from straight to bow-shaped, tick-shaped, and bucketor ladle-shaped. Putchers were in use at some traps but most appear to have been the site of rows of the large, tripartite, conical baskets known as putts. The air-photographic evidence complements documentary sources and (commonly illustrated) descriptions from ground level of some of the fisheries. The traps represent a long-lived and substantial coastal industry that is now for a variety of reasons essentially defunct.
