History
Podsmead was largely built during the 20th century. The larger, grander houses similar to those in parts of Tuffley were built in the interwar period whilst immediately after World War II an estate of temporary homes and social housing was built. Some of the temporary housing is still in use. Podsmead has a large council estate. ==References==
