Southmead info
Southmead is a suburb of Bristol,
in the southwest of England. Although its name
might suggest otherwise, it is located in the
northern part of the city, near the town of Filton
(in South Gloucestershire), and Horfield (another
Bristol suburb).
The area lends its name to the NHS-run Southmead
Hospital, although this is actually situated in
the neighbouring district of Westbury on Trym.
Central Southmead features a variety of shops
surrounded by very grassy areas and wide roads.
The construction of Southmead started in 1931,
when the Bristol Corporation built 1,500 houses
there, partly in order to house families cleared
from the slums of central Bristol, and partly
to address the housing shortage at the time. A
further 1,100 houses were built after World War
II. Since then, reference has often been made
to the "pre-war estate" of Southmead
and the "post-war estate". The "pre-war"
area was known as being the worse part of Southmead
and this reputation had an unfortunate self-fulfilling
effect: the "post-war" development is
visibly in a better condition and has fewer social
and crime problems.
In recent years, efforts have been made to improve
the area's social problems and implement environmental
improvements, many of which have been successful.
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.
