IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Sydenham Road, BRISTOL, BS6 5SB

With the striking graffiti at Stokes Croft showing beyond the end of the road.

This rather smart little wedge-shaped building, fitting in between Sydenham Road and Sydenham Lane, has, like the block of flats to the left Image], arrived too late to feature in a conventional numbering system, since number one is further up to the left. The name plate you can see by the door reads "Zero Sydenham Road". Technically, there could be room for more such buildings since Sydenham Road continues beyond the junction for another 40 metres before meeting Nine Tree Hill; would they have to be minus numbers?

The street shown in Image] from the opposite end. The modern block of flats on the right is Sydenham Place which, like the house shown in Image], doesn't get to fit into the street's numbering sequence.

The neat little corner house shown in Image], with Sydenham Road on the left and Sydenham Lane on the right.

The home of Jesters Comedy Club. It was built in 1914 in an Edwardian Baroque style as a cinema. It closed in 1955 and became a Christadelphian Hall or chapel. It was adapted for use as a bar under the name The Magic Box and now it has been refurbished as a new venue for Jesters Comedy Club

Older buildings on Cheltenham Road show the original features along with the modern appreciation.

With a graffiti-covereed door, this belongs to a house on Stokes Croft, but (see Image]) were it turned into a chic residence, it could feature as a minus number on Sydenham Road.

This charmingly named little street leads steeply up from the busy urban route of Stokes Croft to the peaceful charm of Freemantle square in the Kingsdown conservation area. The council, wisely, have made it a no through road.

The title is borrowed from a book about the area. Note the angle at which the child's pushchair is being pushed down Nine Tree Hill. Nearby I saw another woman using walking poles to get about.
