Eastville, Bristol

Eastville Park

Eastville is an inner-suburb of the English city of Bristol, situated between Lower Easton and Whitehall/Fishponds in the central north of the city. In the west its boundary is the River Frome (or the M32 motorway, which follows a similar route).

Eastville Stadium (on the west bank of the Frome) used to be the home of Bristol Rovers Football Club, as well as being a site for greyhound racing and speedway, but this site has now been developed by IKEA.

Eastville Park is a large park with a small lake, just to the east of the M32.

The Coach House was originally called The Beaufort Inn, and subsequently the Railway Tavern, while the Black Swan was licensed during the reign of King George IV. The White Lion was licensed to a John Williams as early as 1877, while the Queen's Head has perched above Eastville Park since the late 19th century. Many other pubs were sited in Eastville, but all have now been demolished or converted to other uses.
