St Philips Marsh

The Story of an Island and its People

This booklet was put together by a group of people who lived in the area and each year they celebrate the passing of a community.   A fascinating story about a part of Bristol which was an island of homes for around 6000 men, women and children who came together for work and whose community spirit could not be matched.  Eventually the area was cleared of houses and became a huge industrial area but the history of the Marsh is unique.
