Taken from where it meets Ashley Road, this is Picton Street where I lived for fifteen happy years back in the 1980s and 1990s. And Henry Irving lived there too, in the white stuccoed house in the foreground on the right. As did Cary Grant for short period when he was a boy (same side, further down). This is the last remaining Georgian shopping street in Bristol and there are still some shops and businesses further down (Licata's deli and Herbert's bakery being the best and longest-standing), though not nearly many as when I lived there, sad to say.
