About Southville, Bristol
Southville is an inner city ward of Bristol, England, situated on the south bank of the River Avon and northwest of Bedminster. Most of the area’s houses were built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries either for workers in the Bristol coal mining industry or the tobacco factories of W. D. & H. O. Wills, homes of the eponymous “Wills Girls”. The area was bombed in the second world war, with many streets losing one or more houses. The area has been gentrified since the early 1980s, accompanying the rise in house prices.
