| Site of the 19th century (1855) St.Peter's Church until 1939 and which became occupied with a 1950s high-rise (8-storey) block of flats and maisonettes. This Clifton Wood church was closed in 1938 due to the decrease in religiosity in 1930s Bristol. |

| An interesting conundrum is the row of pallets extending down the right-hand side of Jacob's Wells Road. Timber storage for the sawmills at Canon's Marsh or could they be building materials for the pre-fabricated, single-storey housing units constructed in post-war Bristol (Sea Mills)? |

An interesting view of the area to the west of the city centre, only twelve months after the conclusion of World War II in Europe. Looking almost due north from a position over the Floating Harbour, the photo is readily compared to the large-scale maps of the period. |
