St Philips Marsh BS2 |
St Philips Marsh is an industrial inner
suburb of Bristol, England.
The River Avon and Harbour feeder canal
run through the area. The site is
currently home of a large retail and
leisure park with Showcase cinemas and
hollywood bowl among its residents.
It has been extensively redevloped in
the past 15 years and a bypass runs over
the River Avon creating a major
transport link from the A4 road in south
east Bristol, to junction 3 of the M32
motorway near the city centre. In past
years St Philips marsh was a housing
development for the workers of Bristol's
market area (now known as Old Market).
One of St Philips' more influncial
residents during the early 1900s was
George Townsend, a major property
developer of the South Bristol area. His
family home situated in the St Annes
area of Bristol is still standing today
and a reminder of bristols history.
