Memorial to Firefighter Fleur Lombard QGM
Fleur was the first female firefighter to be killed in action in Britain since World War II. She was searching a burning Co-op supermarket (located across the road from the memorial, on the site where the local Tesco now stands) for "persons reported" when she was caught, and died instantly, in a flashover.

The Forge and Fern
For many years since before the turn of the 1900s, this pub on the main road was the Red Lion. It closed a couple of years ago and has then found a new build has occupied the former car park beside it. All the structure to the left is original, the green wall and glass panelling are very much the new stuff.

A war relic in a corner of the park
In WWII Page Park was selected for the construction of an air raid shelter in 1939. It is now used as a store. Records show that bombing was a rare experience in Staple Hill, but two children were killed in the big Bristol raid of November, 1940.

Older sign on Broad Street
Apart from the modern shop sign, there is also a small tablet set in the upper wall hinting of an older time. It must have been considered important enough to have its own moulding - there are no others on this row.
