Bedminster info
Bedminster is an area of Bristol
to the south of the city centre; once a small
town in Somerset. Bedminster’s origins seem
to be Roman, centred around the present East Street
and West Street. The Malago river, which runs
through Bedminster to join the Avon, was an early
Christian place for baptisms - the old word for
which, beydd may be the origin of Bedminster’s
name.
The population of Bedminster
increased rapidly, from 3,000 in 1801 to 78,000
in 1884, mostly as a result of the coalfield and
other industries such as smelting, tanneries,
glue-works, paint and glass factories. In the
1880s two major employers moved there - E. S.
& A. Robinson (paper bag manufacturers) and
W.D. & H.O. Wills (cigarette and cigar makers).
The population overflowed to Windmill Hill, Totterdown,
Southville, the Chessells and Bedminster Down.
During this time, many churches, public houses,
shops and businesses were built, some of which
still survive.
About Bristol
Bristol is an English city and
county and one of the two administrative centres
of South West England (the other being Plymouth).
From its earliest days, its prosperity has been
linked to that of the Port of Bristol, the commercial
port which originated in the city centre, but
which has now migrated to the Bristol Channel
coast. Bristol extends to this coast and includes
Avonmouth, where much of the current port is located.
Notable areas in and surrounding the city include
Clifton, Filton and Patchway. (These last two
areas are outside the present city boundary, in
South Gloucestershire.)
Bristol is England's eighth, and the United Kingdom's
eleventh, most populous city. It had been, for
half a century, the second largest English city
after London,
until the rapid rise of Liverpool, Manchester
and Birmingham, in the 1780s.
