Fishponds
Fishponds is a large outer suburb in the northeast of the English city of Bristol. It is approximately 3 miles (5 km) from Bristol city centre. It has two large Victorian era parks: Eastville Park and Vassall's Park (formerly the Vassall's Family estate, also known locally as Oldbury Court). The River Frome runs through both parks, with the Frome Valley Walkway running along it. A restored mill can be found at Snuff Mills near the Vassall's Park end of the river. It has retained its original waterwheel, which can still be seen and heard turning. Eastville Park has its own large boating lake, with central wildlife reserves. Fishponds is mainly residential through which two main bus routes pass. Housing is typically of the terraced Victorian variety. The high street has many shops, such a butchers, charity shops and takeaways as well as Lidl, Aldi and Morrisons supermarkets. There is a small student population due to the presence of the Glenside campus of the University of the West of England. The name of this area of Bristol derives from when it was, like nearby Soundwell, a quarry district. The empty quarries were then filled and there were many large fishponds in the area which have since been filled in. There was one pond remaining until the mid-1970s, when it was officially closed, a popular swimming area, named "The Lido" by locals. It is now owned by a private angling club.
