Begbrook is a suburb of Bristol, between Stapleton and Frenchay, just north-west of the River Frome. It is named after the eponymous stream, which is a tributary of the River Frome. It is in the Frome Vale electoral ward of Bristol. [1]
Begbrook Green Park and Begbrook Primary Academy are in the area. [2] [3]
The small Frenchay Village Museum [4] is in Begbrook Green Park, bordering Frenchay. [5] [6]
In north-east Begbrook, Begbrook House stood until 11 November 1913, when it was burnt out by a fire. Begbrook House was owned by Hugh Thomas Coles, a banker and treasurer of Clifton College, but unused since 1912 when he moved away. Suffragettes were suspected of making an arson attack on the house in a campaign for the release from prison of Rachel Pease and Mary Richardson. The modern Begbrook House Care Home now stands on the site. [7]
