St Michael's Church St Michael's Church, Stoke Gifford: the early church records from 1508 were kept in the vestry, window may be Norman. The 10 commandments are on the west wall. Sun Life Lake A new pathway winds round the artificial lake. The water tapped for the lake is also the source of the little stream which winds its way behind New Road to Stoke Brook. The path follows the route of the old church path to Harry Stoke Road. The public footpath is diverted via Church Road and Westfield Lane. Nowhere A place where the three parishes joined, Stoke Gifford, Winterbourne and Frenchay. On the original map, the boundary lines were not quite accurate. 'If it is not in any of the other parishes, it must be nowhere" was the quote. Future maps were drawn correctly, but the name stuck. Maules Nursery The nursery is closed, and was most recently used for collecting rare breeds. Army Camp At the junction of Coldharbour Lane and Filton Road there used to be an army camp near the site of the Crest Hotel. It had lots of wooden huts which were taken over by residents after the war in 1945. next>
