St Thomas the Martyr, Bristol

One Redcliff Street, Bristol, England, formerly known as the Robinson Building, was built in 1964 as the headquarters of paper and packaging manufacturer E. S. & A. Robinson. Robinsons had occupied the site since 1846. At the time of construction it was the first high rise building in Bristol to "break an unofficial height limit" of 30.5 metres (100 ft). The Robinson building caused "controversy, both locally and nationally, and was seen by many as failing to respond to its environment, in particular its physical relationship to the adjacent Church of St Thomas". However, prominent architect Basil Spence described it as "a gift to the City". It was considered for the Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest in 2007, but the application was refused. Law firm TLT LLP occupies the 7th, 8th and 10th-13th floors of the building and Patent & Trade Mark Specialists Withers & Rogers LLP occupies the 9th and part of the 5th with the rest of the floor being vacant. The names of the building and the street are often misspelt "Redcliffe", from confusion with the nearby Redcliffe district. In 2016 an extra floor was added raising the roof height from 60 to 64 metres.

The Granary, also known as Wait and James' Granary, is a building on Welsh Back in the English city of Bristol. It was designed by Archibald Ponton and William Venn Gough in red Cattybrook brick, with black and white brick and limestone dressings. It is probably the best preserved example of the Bristol Byzantine style and is designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building.The building was built in 1869 as a granary for Wait, James and Co. It was used to dry large quantities of grain, so it had to be strong, stable and warm, with good ventilation. Between 1968 and 1988, it housed a nightclub, also known as The Granary. In 2002, the building was converted into apartments, after the owners, Bristol City Council, had invited competitive bids from developers for its renovation and conversion. Barton Willmore produced the designs which supported the winning bid.

Welsh Back is a wharf and street alongside the floating harbour in the centre of the city of Bristol, England. The wharf and street extend some 450 metres (1,480 ft) along the west side of the harbour between Bristol Bridge and Redcliffe Bridge. At the northern (Bristol Bridge) end, the street and wharf are immediately adjacent, but to the south they are separated by a range of single story transit sheds. The wharf is a grade II listed structure and takes its name because it was freqented by vessels from Welsh ports.The Welsh Back has been an important quay since the 13th century, when it was located on the tidal course of the River Avon. In 1475, the merchant and benefactor Alice Chestre is recorded as having given a crane for use at the Welsh Back, this being the first evidence of a crane in the port of Bristol. The quayside was extended in 1724, and in 1809 the floating harbour was created by impounding the former river channel, meaning that boats could stay afloat at all states of the tide when alongside the quay. Today the Welsh Back is mostly the site of bars and restaurants, situated either in the buildings on the landward side of the street, or in boats moored alongside the quay. The buildings on the landward side of the Welsh Back include the Granary, an imposing building in the Bristol Byzantine style. Just inland from the intersection of King Street and the Welsh Back is the historic Llandoger Trow public house, said to have inspired Robert Louis Stevenson in writing Treasure Island. Towards the northern end of Welsh Back is the so-called ‘bomb hole’, part of the quayside that was damaged by bombing during the Second World War and retained as a memorial. Alongside this is the Merchant Seamen’s memorial, commemorating those who lost their lives sailing from Bristol.

Sack Friary, Bristol was a friary in Bristol, England. It was established in 1266 and dissolved in 1286.The mendicant religious order was known as the Friars of the Sack and the Brothers of Penitence. The friars first appeared in England in 1257, with the order apparently originating in Italy, where they were known as "Fratres de Sacco". The order began in 1251 and expanded into Britain, France, Spain, Germany and Palestine. The Second Council of Lyon took up the question of limiting mendicant religious orders. In 1274, the four major orders-the Franciscans, the Dominicans, the Carmelites and the Austin Friars were allowed to remain with the lesser orders instructed to disband.The first mention of the order in Bristol was circa 1266 when Henry III of England granted the friars six oaks from Selwood Forest for building. Records of the 1287 Pleas of the Crown establish that there was a house of Friars of the Sack before that time, but no one is certain where it was located. The last mention of the order in Bristol is found on a document dated October 31, 1322. The document refers to a tenement outside Bristol Temple Gate located near the church of the "Friars di saccis" signed by Simon de Ely, burgess of Bristol to William de Cameleigh.

The Bristol Bridges Walk is a circular hiking route that is linked to the Königsberg bridge problem, a mathematical puzzle, which laid the foundation for graph theory, the mathematical study of networks. The Bristol Bridges Walk presents a solution of the puzzle for the city of Bristol. Its route leads the walker through different quarters of the city, the Avon Gorge and Leigh Woods. Along the way it crosses 45 bridges including Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol Bridge, and Avonmouth Bridge. The walk featured in various charity fundraisers of which the Bristol Giving Day 2019 is perhaps the most notable.

Seven Stars (grid reference ST591727) is an historic pub on Thomas Lane, Bristol, England; it was built in the 17th century and is a grade II listed building.One of the earliest references to the pub is in the Bristol Record Office. It mentions Sir John Hawkins who, whilst buying what was to become the Georges Brewery, acquired the lease in 1694 from the Saunders family brewing dynasty "...a half tenement, the sign of the Seven Stars, St Thomas Lane"."Michael Jaine, victualler" held "The Starrs" "in accordance with his father's will" in the latter part of the seventeenth century. Michael Jayne was the son of William Jayne of St. Thomas, innholder, who died in 1666. Abraham Sanders married Margaret Jayne, daughter of William Jayne, and Abraham Sanders was the administrator of William's will. Michael Jayne, innholder of St. Thomas, was deceased by 1672, when an inventory of his estate was taken. There has been no record found as to how the property transferred to Abraham Saunders after Michael's death. Abraham Saunders "late of the city of Bristol" died in 1690 and his son Anthony transferred the property to John Hawkins in 1694.It is now noted for its association with the abolitionist Thomas Clarkson, who visited in 1787 and used the pub and its sympathetic landlord, William Thompson, as a base for his researches into Bristol's "honourable trade" of slavery.

The Llandoger Trow is a historic public house in Bristol, south-west England. Dating from 1664, it is on King Street, between Welsh Back and Queen Charlotte Street, near the old city centre docks. Named by a sailor who owned the pub after Llandogo in Wales which built trows (flat-bottomed river boats), the building was damaged in World War II, but remained in sufficiently good condition to be designated Grade II* listed building status in 1959. The pub is said to have inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write of the Admiral Benbow Inn in Treasure Island and Daniel Defoe supposedly met Alexander Selkirk there, his inspiration for Robinson Crusoe. The pub is also supposedly haunted, with up to 15 ghosts, the best known being a small child whose footsteps can be heard on the top floor. On 20 April 2019 the pub was closed, but has now re-opened as part of the Bloomsbury Leisure group.
