Fishponds, Residential suburb in northeast Bristol, England.
Fishponds extends across a large area featuring Victorian housing estates, modern residential developments, and two substantial public parks along the River Frome.
The area received its name from water-filled quarry pits in the 1700s, transforming from 'Newe Pooles' in 1610 to 'Fish Ponds' by 1734.
The neighborhood maintains a mix of Victorian-era public houses and contemporary micropubs, reflecting both traditional and modern British social customs.
Located three miles from central Bristol, Fishponds connects to the city center through multiple bus routes and contains numerous shops along its main road.
Oldbury Court Estate, dating from 1066, encompasses woodland paths, riverside walks, and contains a restored waterwheel at Snuff Mills.
