When Alison Kjellstorm first walked down the tree-lined paths of St George park over 25 years ago, she immediately felt at home as it reminded her of where she’d grown up in France. The park in East Bristol has recently been voted the best picnic spot in the city and the fourth best park in the UK.
Recently, St George Park lake has seen major council investment and the much-awaited project is now almost complete. Most of the fencing has been removed and fish are swimming once again in the recently refilled lake.
Locals say that the high street, Church Road, which runs parallel to the park, has become a lot busier in recent years. Beyond Aldi, as the road stretches further away from town, several new independent businesses have sprung up over the last couple of years in an area which is said to be ‘up and coming’.
