Nine famous faces who are from south Bristol and Keynsham

Here we take a look at the well-known people who are from places like Knowle West, Whitchurch and Bedminster

‘North Bristol’s not as real, all the posh people live in North Bristol, all the Bristolians live in South Bristol,’ said comedian and actress Jayde Adams in an interview on her returning ‘home’ last year.

It’s a feeling shared by many living south of the river who are vehemently proud of their south Bristol roots. And it’s why Jayde, who once worked at Bedminster’s Asda, is also such inspiration for people, perhaps, facing a more challenging upbringing than their northern city counterparts.

South Bristol is home to Europe’s largest street art festival, it has rich history in the towering Maes Knoll Iron Age hill fort and it has strength in community seen in organisations like the Square Food Foundation.

It also has a wealth of talent and personalities seen below. Have we missed anyone? Email us at [email protected]
