It is in the electoral ward of Hillfields, Bristol, separating the large outer urban areas of Fishponds and Kingswood.

[1] Lodge Hill once had commanding views of the Royal Forest of Kingswood, known to have been used by kings for hunting since Saxon times.

The area around Lodge Hill was studded by coalpits, where the deepest was reported as 600 ft (183 m) deep in 1793.

Manufacturing ended and the factory finally shut in 2001,[6] under the ownership of the UK Safe group who have relocated the sales and operations elsewhere in Bristol.

GB Britton’s Lawn bowling Club still exists on Ingleside Road, and the small park abreast Lodge Hill has great views of East Bristol.
