About Fencing in Bristol

Bristol grew into one of England's wealthiest ports through trade in wine, sugar, tobacco and, for a troubling period through the 18th century, enslaved people, wealth that funded the elegant Georgian terraces built up the hill in Clifton as merchants sought cleaner air away from the working harbour below. That harbour later became the setting for one of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's greatest achievements, the Clifton Suspension Bridge, chosen through competition in 1830 when Brunel was just 24, though it was not completed until 1864, five years after his death. The city continues to reckon publicly with this history, most visibly when the statue of slave trader Edward Colston was pulled down and rolled into the harbour during protests in 2020.

Types of Materials found in Bristol

Bristol sits on a mix of Carboniferous limestone and Triassic sandstone, with softer alluvial ground near the Avon Gorge and harbourside. Higher ground on the surrounding hills tends to be firmer and generally suited to standard concreted fence post footings.
