Welcome to our Web Site......... Updated 13th April 2008


Covering aspects of local history relating to the areas of Downend, Mangotsfield, Staple Hill and the newer surrounding districts such as Emerson's Green. These areas lie in South Gloucestershire just to the north of the city of Bristol, England.

We are primarily interested in the districts, and how they have developed, rather than the personal histories of the inhabitants.  Please see Contacts and Other Links if you are doing research into local families other than prominent ones.

Use the links on the left to navigate through our site.


A dedicated E-mail address has now been set up for enquiries. It is

New Winter Programme for 2008-2009 will soon be available.
