Midland Road
The building nearest the camera, on the corner of Waterloo Road, hosts the "Puzzlair 4D urban escape game" - a recent craze among young adults, which at least finds a use for otherwise disused buildings.

Balcony of Barstaple House
Some interesting features of the old Trinity Hospital almshouses. The original almshouses were built by a city merchant, sheriff and mayor of Bristol, John Barstaple, in about 1402. The buildings were rebuilt many times, especially between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, and are now private flats.

Best view of Britain, Bristol
I was scratching my head wondering why I took this until I spotted the banner on the right, and thought "Ah, yes, an attempt at irony". Beyond the junction of New Thomas Street and Unity Street is the large building site also shown in

Barstaple House
The buildings are based on the original site of John Barstaple's houses. Barstaple was a merchant, sheriff, mayor and benefactor of old Bristol from about 1400. He was awarded a royal charter 'to grant land in the suburb of Bristol to the mayor and commonalty of Bristol to build a hospital for poor persons'. The present buildings are a mixture, being extensively rebuilt between 1858 and 1883. In 2010 the houses were sold off and became private residences; the funds were used to build new charity houses elsewhere.
