This area of land on the corner of Redcliff Hill and Redcliffe Parade East was used for Quaker burials from 1665 to 1923. In 1950 the Quakers donated the burial ground to Bristol City Council. During the 1960s the Council developed the area into a garden of scented plants, a sensory garden for the blind. However, during the next three decades, the garden gradually became more neglected and overgrown. In recent years, local residents have restored the garden to provide a haven of tranquillity a few metres from a busy street.
