More about Bedminster Bristol Somerset
Bedminster is an area of Bristol (England) 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 Royal Manor of Bedminster comprised all the land
south of the Avon, from the Avon Gorge to Brislington,
and in the Domesday Book had 25 villeins, 3 slaves and
27 smallholders. In 1154 it was given to the Lords of
Berkeley, who kept it for 300 years. In 1605 it was
purchased by the Smyth family of Ashton Court who
remained the Lords of the Manor until the 19th century.
In 1644, during the English Civil War, Bedminster was
sacked by Prince Rupert. When John Wesley preached there
in the 1760s, it was a sprawling, decayed market town,
with orchards next to brick works, rope walks and the
beginnings of a mining industry.
Open cast coal mining had been done on a small scale
since the 1670s, but in 1748 the first shafts were sunk
by Sir Jarrit Smyth at South Liberty Lane. By the end of
the century there were eighteen coal-pits operating in
the Bedminster and Ashton Vale coalfield.
In 1809 the New Cut was excavated through the northern
part of the parish. This is a canal draining St
Phillip’s Marshes and providing water for the Floating
Harbour; it is now the boundary between Bedminster and
the City centre.
The population of Bedminster increased rapidly, from
3,000 in 1801 to 78,000 in 1884, mostly as a result of
the coalfield and 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, churches, public
houses, shops and businesses were built, some of which
still survive.
In the Second World War Bedminster suffered severely
from air raids. Post-war town planning relocated most of
the heavy industry to the rural areas to the south of
the parish, and new estates grew up in Withywood,
Hartcliffe and Highridge. Bedminster declined during the
post-war years, but recent redevelopments, a big new
supermarket and a pedestrianisation scheme are improving
the area. North St (which divides Bedminster from
Southville) in particular has undergone huge renovation
with the introduction of the Tobacco Factory theatre and
bar and dozens of modern shops.
Bedminster primary schools are Holy Cross RC Primary
School, South Street Primary School and Victoria Park.
