The club was established in 1948 as Bristol Post Office Telephones and joined the Bristol & Suburban League.

However, a third-place finish in Premier Division Two in 2009–10 saw the club promoted back to Premier Division One. They went on to win the league and Alf Bosley Cup the following season, after which they won the Steve Tucker Memorial Trophy by defeating Bristol Premier Combination champions Mendip United. [3]

Bristol Telephones retained the Alf Bosley Cup in 2011–12, [4] and were Premier Division One champions again in 2012–13, earning promotion to the Gloucestershire County League. They won the Gloucestershire County League title in 2016–17, [5] and were promoted to Division One of the Western League.
