Horfield

Historically, Horfield had a reputation as a lawless place because Horfield Wood was the haunt of thieves and vagrants. The name 'Horfield' is Anglo-Saxon in origin, meaning 'Filthy open land'. There was a large Army barracks in Horfield from 1845, which was for a time headquarters of the South Gloucestershire Regiment.
Horfield is home to the Memorial Stadium: built in 1921 for Bristol Rugby Club in memory of the rugby union players of the city who died in World War I, and rededicated to also commemorate the dead of World War II. In 1996, the ground also became home to Bristol Rovers Football Club who now own it.
Famous sons of Horfield include Hollywood actor Cary Grant, who was born at 15 Hughenden Road, in 1904, and composer Ray Steadman-Allen was born at 64 Muller Road, in 1922.
