Pub history

Emersons Green

The Emersons Green suburb was built on farmland, an area recorded on an 1830 map simply as Hows Moor. Starting as just a hamlet, long before South Gloucestershire existed, it has grown steadily into a residential Bristol suburb. For 88 years (until 2015), it was in the civil parish of Mangotsfield Rural (derived from Old English ‘Mangod’s Feld’ and mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086) as ‘Manegodesfelle’ and in 1377 as ‘Manegodesfeld’). The parish was renamed Emersons Green.
