Pearces Hill

8/3/2014

0 Comments

 
Pearces Hill was originally called Mill Lane. It was renamed after William Pearce and his son Henry who owned Frenchay Mill from 1851-1871. They lived in the manager’s house on the right hand side of the mill.

This house, which was demolished as part of a flood prevention scheme, was one of the tea gardens popular in Frenchay between the two World Wars. Originally it had a crenellated roofline. Photographs of the mill and tea gardens can be seen in Frenchay Village Museum.
