17-18 Queen Square, Bristol
No. 17 (left) is early Georgian, with painted quoins and a late-C18th pedimented doorcase, while its neighbour is a faithful pastiche of c1970. Grade II listed.
Queen Square is the best surviving Georgian ensemble in the city centre, and one of the largest Georgian squares in the country. Being laid out from 1699 (and largely complete by 1727) it was the first formal square outside London. The leases stipulated building heights but not much else so there is in general a lack of uniformity.
Now offices.

Propped up on Welsh Back
An old transit shed, now being used for other purposes, has some extra help to stay upright. After a session in town of an evening, many people are in similar need.

Exhausted Brickwork
This fancy victorian brickwork is on one of the old warehouses that line the cobbled quay side of Welsh Back in the centre of Bristol. The smoke is from an exhaust pipe belonging to the business on the ground floor.
