My December walk with my walking group was around some of the historic parts of Bristol. I have chosen some of the sights that we passed as possible options for No. 16 A Sense of History in the Winter photo hunt. One of our first stops was The Exchange in Corn St. Once a busy corn exchange and now part of St Nicholas Market. Outside are some of the original 'nails' where merchants carried out their business. The pillars had edges to the tables to prevent coins rolling off. Deals were closed by payments on the nails.
We also passed one of the oldest taverns in Bristol. The Llandoger Trow was built in 1664.
This fish restaurant was originally a granary on the harbourside built in 1869 in what is known as the Bristol Byzantine style. It has also been a nightclub in the 70's and 80's. It remains quite a striking building.
Definitely get a sense of history from these photos!
ReplyDeleteAll of these are good examples of sense of history. I really want to get out to do some searching for the WPSH but alas it's toooooo cold to go wandering.
