Once the Turnpike
This is now the Thunderbolt public house, a popular live music venue, although it was the Turnpike for most of its life.
The area of Totterdown was an important gateway to Bristol and the authorities erected a tollgate for users after the Act of 1748. The people were moved to tear them down, leading to some angry scenes and retribution. However, this pub is a Victorian Gothic style building that stands on the turnpike - hence its original name. The tolls were eventually dropped in 1863. Grade II listed.
