Fishponds info
Fishponds is an attractive, quiet,
safe suburb of Bristol approximately five miles
from the City centre. It has two large Victorian
era parks; Eastville Park and Vassels (formerly
the Vassels Family estate). The river Frome runs
through both parks forming a valley and there
is an attractive but lonely path walkway alongside
the river. A restored Snuff Mill can be found
near the Vassels Park end of the River. It has
retained its original waterwheel which can still
be seen and heard turning today. Eastville park
has it's own large boating lake with central wildlife
reserves. The peddle boats are available for hire
in the summer months.
Fishponds is mainly a residential area through
which many bus routes pass. Housing is typically
of the terraced Victorian variety. The high street
comprises of many local shops such as greengrocers
and florists. There is a small student population
due to the presence of the St Matthias, Bristol
campus of the University of the West of England.
The name of this area of Bristol derives from
when it was, like nearby Soundwell, a quarry district.
The empty quarries were then filled and there
were many large fishponds in the area which have
since been filled in. There is one pond remaining
which was, until the mid 1970s when it was officially
closed, a popular swimming area, named "The
Lido" by locals.
At its Eastville end, the elevated section of
M32 motorway cuts through the area near it's terminus
at the Broadmead shopping centre. Fishponds is
bordered by four suburbs: Downend, Staple Hill,
St. George and Eastville.
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.
