Clifton - BS8

The rear entrance to The Coronation Tap cider house - "The Cori" to its regulars - tucked away at the closed end of Portland Street (cul-de-sac). The front entrance is at the other side of the building on Sion Place. It is said to be at least thirty years older than the Clifton Suspension Bridge and was described in 1806 as "a beerhouse with cottage adjoining". Also of interest perhaps are these two stone-built, three-storey rectangular blocks known as Carter's Buildings? Now used for residential accommodation purposes, the grand arched entrance on the nearest building seems to suggest that these two blocks (or the integrated whole) may have had a different use/s in the past?
