Greenbank is a small informal district in Bristol, England nestling between Easton to the west, Eastville to the north, Fishponds to the east, and Whitehall to the south. The area itself is part of the official Easton Ward for elections.
The area is mainly one of early 1900s terraced housing with a row of very new housing on the edge of the cemetery. There are a few distinctive buildings within the area:
- The Elizabeth Shaw chocolate factory (famous for its 'Famous Names' and 'Chocolate Crisp' brands)
- Chapel in Greenbank Cemetery [1]
- Castle Green United Reform Church
- Local church informally know as the "Lego Church"
