Ward profiles 2021: Frome Vale - 'A fantastic part of the city'


By Martin Booth, Tuesday Apr 6, 2021
Frenchay Bridge has a cast iron plaque in the centre of its span over the River Frome with incised lettering that informs it was built by subscription in 1788.
Another sign says that it “is unsafe to carry a weight beyond 6 tons” on the bridge – “by order of the Chipping Sodbury Rural District Council”.
As Bristol24/7 continues our ward profiles ahead of May’s local elections, it is interesting to note the local authority who 230 years ago were responsible for what now marks one of our city’s most northerly extents.
