This is Winchester Road, Brislington. At first glance it is a perfectly typical nineteenth century street, but as the houses were being developed in 1899 the excavations brought up Roman articles. The consequential archaeology revealed an interesting villa, probably built around 270 A.D. and one of many like it in the Bristol area. It featured about ten room, a bath with a hypocaust and signs of a metal-working shop.
