Description

St Pauls is an inner suburb of Bristol, England, situated just north east of the city centre and west of the M32. It is bounded by the A38, the B4051, the A4032 and the A4044, although the traditional southern boundary before the M32 used to be the Frome. In the early 18th century it was laid out as one of Bristol's first suburbs.HistoryIn the 1870s the Brooks Dye Works opened on the edge of St Pauls and became a major local employer, leading to the construction of terraced houses. Together with migration to Bristol, both from overseas and within Britain, this led to St Pauls becoming a densely populated suburb by the Victorian era.The area was bomb damaged during World War II. Rebuilding and investment was focused on new housing estates such as Hartcliffe and Southmead rather than St Pauls, and this contributed to a decline in the quality of the area. During the large-scale immigration of the 1950s, many people moved from Jamaica and Ireland, and settled in St Pauls.
