The Dings, Bristol

The Dings is a neighbourhood in the St Philip's district of central Bristol, England. It is part of the Lawrence Hill ward, and is located south of Old Market and Newtown. Enclosed by the Temple Meads rail corridor, the Feeder Canal and the industrial estates of St Philip's Marsh, The Dings has historically been distinguished by its tight grid of late-Victorian terraces and by a strong sense of local identity that prompts The Dings Community Association to describe it as "a village in the city”. It is also the site of Bristol's first home zone, which has been the subject of published case studies.
