Canon's Marsh is an inner city area of Bristol of approximately one square kilometre. Canon's Marsh is situated on the north side of the Floating Harbour, immediately to the west of the River Frome spur (St Augustine's Reach) of the harbour. Canon's Marsh borders Hotwells to the west, Clifton to the north, and the city centre to the north east. Canon's Marsh was a shipbuilding area until the last yard closed in 1904, incorporating two of Teast's Docks, and including J&W Peters shipyard. Canon's Wharf was once one of the busiest quays in the docks, with railway lines cranes and a goods shed. The area was also the location of the city gas works. With the decline of industry throughout the 20th century Canon's Marsh was cleared to make way for urban renewal. Due to pollution, however, the gas works remained derelict for several years. The area is now [2013] the location of At-Bristol, the South West offices of Lloyds TSB bank, a campus of City of Bristol College and bars, restaurants, apartment buildings and offices.
