In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Fishponds like this:
FISHPONDS, a chapelry in Stapleton parish, Gloucester; near the West Midland railway, 3¼ miles NE of Bristol. It has a station on the railway, and a post office ‡ under Bristol. The acreage and pop. are returned with the parish. The rated property amounts to £10, 955, and is not much divided; but there are many good villas. The living is annexed to the vicarage of Stapleton. The church is good.
