St Werburghs is an inner suburban neighbourhood in Bristol, England. It is in the Ashley electoral ward and Bristol Central parliamentary constituency, 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) northeast of The Centre.
St Werburghs does not have formal boundaries, but in typical usage encompasses an area roughly bounded by the Filton Bank railway to the northeast, M32 motorway to the southeast, Ashley Hill to the west, and the Ashley Vale escarpment to the north.[1] It borders the neighbourhoods of Eastville to the northeast, Easton to the southeast, St Pauls to the south, Montpelier and St Andrews to the west, and Ashley Down to the northwest.
Whilst it has more of a cultural mix than Bristol,[clarification needed] it is not as diverse as other inner city areas.[2][failed verification] It also has more family housing which has increased house prices.[citation needed] The area has less crime than the other inner city Bristol areas.[3][failed verification]
Mina Road is St Werburghs' 'high street', whose shops each have an imaginative figurehead protruding from their frontages indicating the type of trade on offer.[citation needed] The park opposite the shops contains an original example of a cast iron Victorian public lavatory.[citation needed]
St Werburghs has a city farm and has been the scene of several environmental campaigns including the development of a self-build housing community and the establishing of Narroways Hill as a Millennium Green and wildlife area.[citation needed]
