At the junction of North Street and Merrywood Road is an estate agent - look up above to see an inscription, Poets Corner 1882, and a head. Southey & Coleridge had connections with Bedminster, but the poet here was the owner of a butcher's shop in this location who was renowned for bad music-hall type poetry and the monument was erected as a joke.
