The Ashton Park School site consists of the School, Sports Centre and the South West Post 16 Centre. All facilities are in the school complex between Blackmoors Lane (BS3 2JL) and Parklands Road. Access to all buildings is through the Blackmoors Lane entrance. Blackmoors Lane is heavily congested with traffic at certain times, particularly when the school finishes in the afternoons, usually between 3:00 to 3:30pm.
Ashton Park School was built in the 1950's in the grounds of Ashton Court Estate, the photo shows what was previously the main entrance to Ashton Court from Bristol. Before the Clifton Suspension Bridge was built (completed in 1864) it was called the Town Gate. The Clifton Lodge/Clifton Bridge route avoided the crossing at Rownham Ferry and post 1864 it was known as the Lawn or Garden Gate, now disused. The photo is from outside the school with the (usually) very busy Brunel Way in the foreground. Ashton Park Schools web site's school history page gives more details about the lodge and the Giant Sequoia that was due to be cut down when the school was built.
