Crown and Anchor House
A modern block of apartments now stand where there was once some of Bristol's industrial heartland. As with much of the area, the style and appearance are varied. At least the light will get in.
The block occupies a couple of streets where a school and Congregational chapel once were. Perhaps the name refers to a malthouse opposite them, now lost.

New Kingsley Road, The Dings, Bristol 2
Hannah More Primary School is named after Hannah More who was born Fishponds, Bristol in 1745 and who died in Clifton, Bristol in 1833. The school was previously known as Barley Fields Junior School. In the C19th there were hemp and flax mills and iron works opposite the school here in Upper Cheese Lane, this road’s previous name. Hannah More was an evangelical Christian writer, a poet, a playwright and a philanthropist who joined other influential individuals of her day in campaigning against the slave trade, in which Bristol was heavily involved. A previous Hannah More School, built in the 1840s, existed in Old Market, Bristol. Temple Meads Railway Station is a 10 minute walk away, behind the photographer.

Ferry services run to here from Bristol Harbour and St Augustine's Reach - a useful, if leisurely, route for commuters to and from Temple Meads railway station.

Soap and specialists
The old soap factory in Broad Plain dates back to the mid 1700s, which changed names and owners on a frequent basis. In 1865 the buildings were demolished and the present structures constructed to designs by William Bruce Gingell, who based it on Italian styles.
Gardiner Haskins moved into the old site after WWII but are now undergoing a significant company restructuring, which will probably mean them moving out.
With the impending departure, the weeds are starting to gain a foothold.
