Early historyAs low-lying land by the river, the reserve was
used as grazing marsh from the Palaeolithicera until recent decades.
The nearby streetname, West Town Road,remembers a small brick-making village thatoccupied part of the site in the 18th century.
The Severn Beach railway line runs across thepresent site. It dates from 1865 and linksAvonmouth with the centre of Bristol.
Schoolandcommunity
Modern historyAt the start of World War I, a vast‘remount’ depot was set up atShirehampton to import, train andsend horses on active service.
After World War II, part of the areawas used as a landfill site. When
this closed down in 1976, thearea’s regeneration began.
By 2003, the conservationvalue of the site had beenrecognised. Shire Greensstarted habitat managementworks, footpaths, fencing
and other improvementsworking with
Bristol City Council.
In 2010, Lamplighter’sMarsh became a local
nature reserve.
