Totterdown is an inner suburb of Bristol, England, situated just south of the River Avon and south-east of Temple Meads railway station and the city centre. It rises relatively steeply from the river bank to a largely terraced Victorian housing area which is notable for its painted homes - often in bright colours - that can be seen from some distance. There is a tight network of extremely steep roads in Upper Totterdown, of which Vale Street, although very short, is alleged to be the steepest residential road in England. For safety cars can only be parked on it at an angle to the kerb.〔http://roadcyclinguk.com/sportive/ten-uks-steepest-climbs.html/5#7J2jYLKb37SoTTbQ.97〕 Built in the mid to late 19th Century, to house workers for the nearby railway industry, Totterdown has more recently become a popular area for the younger generation taking up work in the city centre. == Food and drink == Totterdown has several local pubs some of which attract a younger clientele with DJ nights.
