Windmill Hill, Bristol

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Windmill Hill is situated in the south of the city of Bristol and is often referred to as being part of Bedminster. It is a predominantly residential location, and became popular with in the 1990s and 2000s with students, artists and environmentalists, often sharing rented accommodation. The area is mainly comprised of victorian terraced houses though there are also two residential tower blocks often referred to by locals as the twin towers.

Windmill Hill is separated from the rest of Bedminster by a railway line (and Bedminster train station) and industrial estates as well as the Windmill Hill City Farm.

In the early years of the 21st century the area started undergoing gentrification which has increased house prices in the area. Windmill Hill remains a creative and community driven neighbourhood.
