The Newlands was named after Newlands, a large house which was demolished to build the present road. In 1768 the house was described as Frenchay Inn or Frenchay Coffee House.
It was then converted to a house and was occupied by several of Frenchay’s prominent families. When the house and nine acres of land was sold in 1936 it fetched £3,300 at auction.
