Sea Mills Garden Suburb is a good quality and intact example of Ebenezer Howard and Raymond Unwin’s model of a planned Detached Garden Suburb. It is Bristol’s finest example of planned municipal housing, built in the aftermath of the First World War to provide ‘Homes fit for Heroes’ on land conveyed by Napier Miles of Kingsweston House specifically for the purpose of laying out a garden suburb. Part of the estate was designated a conservation area in 1981.

England’s Past for Everyone (EPE) is a Heritage Lottery funded project run by the Victoria County History (VCH). They run fifteen local history projects in ten counties across the country. The Bristol project is a study of the lives of ethnic minorities in Bristol, over the past 10 centuries.
