The History of Morley Square
Background
Morley Square is a square in Bishopston, Bristol which is owned and managed by the residents of the surrounding houses.
During 2017, we (Julia and Chris Wallace) researched the history of the square and its inhabitants since its inception in 1888/90. The product is the book Julia wrote and this website.
You can read the book online, download the PDF and view our analysis of censuses and surveys of the square.

Data
Data included in this study is drawn from a range of sources. Only data from before May 2017 has been included. Data on current residents has been redacted. There is data on over 1300 people gathered from over 100 sources and undoubtedly some transcription and identification errors remain. We also have a blog about trees and nature in the Square.
We'd love to hear from you if you have any contributions or corrections - email info@morleysq.org.uk.
