Bedminster

Once at the heart of the city’s heavy industries, with many coal mines and tobacco factories, Bedminster is now a large area in the heart of South Bristol, centred around three main roads - East Street, North Street and West Street. It is now perhaps best known for its Upfest-inspired street art on almost every corner, and as the home of Cameron Balloons. Sign up to the Bedminster, Hartcliffe and Hengrove newsletter here.
