Steeped in history Recognised as Bristol’s Bohemian quarter, Montpelier, like its French namesake, has an artistic and diverse vibe amidst what is one of the oldest suburbs in Bristol with its mix of Georgian and Victorian architecture.
It was the Victorians that changed the face of semi-rural Montpelier as the urban sprawl of Bristol took hold and the area became more densely populated and the intricate road system that we see now was introduced. Architectural gems on the Cheltenham Road include Colston’s Girls’ School, a Jacobean mansion built in 1891, whilst the landmark Cheltenham Road Viaduct, known as The Arches, was constructed in 1874 to carry the Clifton Extension line between Montpelier and Redland stations.
Rennison’s Baths were first laid out in 1765 and used the waters of the nearby Cutlers Mills Brook. The baths were 400 ft in diameter and included a coffee house, bowling green, tea gardens and an inn as extra attractions. It is this pub, The Old England that is the only part of this complex that survives today, but the baths gave great notoriety to the area in their time.
Despite the changes over the years, the suburb retains its interesting character and Essence falls within the Conservation Area.
