The Kings Community and Conference Centre
The building dates from the 1950s, constructed after the Blitz had destroyed a boot and shoe factory that was here previously. Post-war the Bristol Institute for the Deaf operated from the site. The E5 Elim Pentecostal Church also resides here.

A Bristol Sewers grating
There are still a few of these old irons on the older streets in town. And as it happened, there was a rather foul smell around it - hopefully not due to grey water going into the storm systems.

Reusing the Church Army hostel
A new brick building on King Square and Jamaica Street is the old Church Army hostel, now run by the Riverside organisation. The C.A. opened this place for the homeless in 1954 - see Image] for a foundation stone at this corner. Riverside was originally the Liverpool Improved Houses, a help group founded in 1928 and which has successively been amalgamated and gathered other local housing groups. It now runs this hostel in Bristol following a major refurishment in the mid 2010s.
The site was previously the Coe, Church and McPherson Boot and Shoe factory, a ladies bootmaker for about a century.

A long climb up from Kings Square
Part of Bristol's more elaborate urban scenery, there are several flights of steps leading from the low ground of the square up the steep hillside. This one leads up Spring Hill.
