A welcoming notice to the green space. The area was historically part of the old Kingswood Forest centuries ago. After that, there was a Dundridge Farm that occupied the higher ground above the old quarries. The land was bought by Bristol City Council in 1940 and partly given over to Dig For Victory plots. Following that, it became the popular public green space it is now. Some of the old farm buildings were converted into changing rooms for various sporting teams.
