History Walk with Andy Buchan

On the 22nd October, Andy Buchan led a wonderful (fully booked!) free walk on the history of Horfield Common.

It was an incredibly well-researched talk, where we were so lucky to benefit from Andy's passion for the Common and learn so much about where we live. Andy shared with us the history of the Common right back to when it was used as common land for farms, the Wellington Hill fountain, the Victorian urinals, Horfield Castle and so much more! It was also wonderful for neighbours to share their own stories and memories of the area!

Andy's group 'Bishopston, Horfield & Ashley Down Local History Society' meets on the third Tuesday of every month and always welcomes new members! Find further details of where they meet and the provisional 2024 program at their website:
