About

Barton Hill is a residential neighbourhood located to the east of Bristol's city centre, situated between the River Avon and the main railway line. The area is characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, alongside more modern social housing developments. Its streets are primarily residential, with local amenities centred along Queen Ann Road and Avonvale Road, serving the community's day-to-day needs. The area has a strong sense of local history tied to its industrial past.

The landscape is marked by the prominent Barton Hill Tower, a 1960s high-rise that is a local landmark visible from much of the area. Green space is provided by the local park and the nearby Feeder Road recreation ground. The community is served by several primary schools and a local community centre. Historically a working-class district, it remains a densely populated, practical urban neighbourhood with direct pedestrian and cycle links towards the city centre along the Feeder Canal path.
