They moved into the South Bristol & District League in the summer of 1895. Their home ground was behind the Talbot Inn on Wells Road in Knowle.The club appointed local member of parliament Edward Stock Hill as president upon their formation, and a year later fellow MP William Henry Wills was given the role of vice-president.
