The Old Market Assembly
Originally a branch of Lloyd's Bank built in the nineteenth century, but closed its doors to customers. Instead, the building has been used as a restaurant and is now also home to a theatre group. Interestingly, the carved stonework states it was established in (Roman numerals) in 1778; Taylors & Lloyds was opened as a private bank in Birmingham in June 1765.

The Palace Hotel
A view of the Lawford Street side of the old gin palace. It's a pity some of the intricate details are given little respect.

Waiting in vain
This is the Palace Hotel, previously the Gin Palace, and before that the Station Hotel. It was built speculatively in 1869 for the booming railway passenger trade brought locally by Bristol's new terminus. Sadly, the station was instead built at Temple Meads and so this ornate Victorian 'waiting room' never made that much money. Currently its owners have maintained the many decorative and elaborate features, especially the upper bar floor - which is actually parallel with the slope of the road outside! See Image] for the two supporting figures holding the roof up, and Image] for the degree of the slope.

Time to stay?
As befits a hotel dependant on railway guests, the Palace Hotel has a clock atop its roof. Built in 1869, the hotel has many remarkable features, both inside and outside as seen here. The satellite dish is not Victorian, though. See Image] for the side view of the first floor.
