This gatehouse was in use for the Smyth family from the early nineteenth century, but finally came to an end in 1946 with the last of the family bequeathing the estate to Bristol City council. Once in their possession, it was decided to use some of the land right beside it to create a new school. Left derelict for many years, it has finally been restored.
