The Old Powder Store, almost hidden by the trees, was where gunpowder was off-loaded from ships bound for Bristol's docks, as a precaution to prevent fire in the docks.

Former gunpowder store on the River Avon
Now a private residence but in times past the harbour authorities in Bristol were understandably nervous about stocks of gunpowder in a crowded harbour so ships were expected to offload it here before progressing up river. The loading derrick is still clearly visible.
