Widcombe Parade dates from 1780-90, predating both Widcombe Crescent and Widcombe Terrace (1805). At the time of building, the parishes of Lyncombe and Widcombe were small villages with a population of around 3000. By 1830, the population had trebled and included almost 600 weavers. The textile trade, together with shipping from John Rennie's Kennet & Avon canal (completed in 1810) and Ralph Allen's stone mine traffic, formed the backbone of the local industry for most of the early 19th century.
