Buildings in Stokes Croft, which like many in this colourful area of Bristol include a display of Street Art. Most notable here is the work on the wall of the barber shop on the left of the photo which is Banksy's "The Mild Mild West", the artist's first known large wall mural, painted in 1997. This building and its immediate neighbour were built in 1868 to a design of Bristol born architect E W Godwin who was also responsible for the nearby The Carriage Works (see Image). For a closer view of this building see Image In the background is 54-62 Stokes Croft, an grade II listed terrace built around 1840 - see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1208927.
