What was originally built as a Georgian suburb of a smoky and crowded City of Bristol, Kingsdown today feels part of the inner city. Its vibrant community has changed with the upheavals of history.

From dereliction and the threat of demolition, the elegant terraced houses now provide housing for families or flats for students and others. The area retains a strong sense of community with regular communal  events continuing to be organised.            

The Kingsdown Conservation Group tries to protect, enhance and stimulate public interest in the Kingsdown area of Bristol.

There are over 204 listed buildings in the area and there were a lot more, but in the 1960s, as the Civic Society put it, “The destruction of Bristol’s most important Georgian suburb was perhaps the worst of all the crimes committed in Bristol in the name of progress since the war.”
