St. George is a district of Bristol, England on the edge of the inner city.
History
St George was originally in Gloucestershire. It became a civil parish (formally known as Bristol St George) in 1866, and briefly an urban district from 1894 to 1898. The parish and urban district were absorbed into Bristol in 1898.[3]
Troopers' Hill is a local landmark, and was a mining area from the early 19th century (coal) until its closure in 1904 when the last fireclay mines were abandoned.[4] It was declared as a Local Nature Reserve (LNR) on 22 June 1995.[5]
