Culture in Totterdown
Good food, good wine and good company - quite the pleasure. All are on offer in William Street. The only people who aren't welcome are those who are bard...

Amba House
This was once a pub; it stands opposite what is now the Shakespeare pub, and seems to have shut when the latter opened. The building now serves as a community cafe and venue space hire.

The “Thali" cafe, occupying a triangular site at the junction of William Street and Cambridge Street, features a large bust of Raisa Gorbachev above its front door. This dates from the 1988 when the cafe was previously the “Glasnost bistro". Between c.1870 and 1940 this was a public house called “The Old King William Hotel” .

An old letterbox on the Wells Road
A George V letterbox resides on an open stretch of land at the back of the houses. Just to the left is the busy Wells Road - one of Bristol's main arteries. However, the old box stands where there used to be another row of Victorian houses - now demolished - so it's clear the box has been resited. A Carron product.

Totterdown, Bristol
An Augustinian friary known as the Austin Friary was established in 1313 when Simon de Montecute gave a group of friars 100 square feet (9.3 m2 ) of land within the Temple Gate of Bristol. This religious group constructed a pipe system to supply themselves with water from a reservoir on the west bank of the Avon, the reservoir being fed from a spring. This spring site is on “Pylle Hill”, a word thought to be derived from the Welsh word pil, meaning a creek, a term used in this area. Apparently this piped water system served its purpose until the C19th. The prior and six remaining friars surrendered the friary, its contents and vestments to commissioner Richard Youngworth in 1538 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The red car is parked on Cambridge Street and the other vehicles on Bellevue Road.
