Obelisk in building site
The memorial https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1246120 to the much-mourned Princess Charlotte, who died in 1817 aged 21, is in the centre of a building site on land beside Queen Victoria House, itself shrouded in the background. 65 apartments are being created; "The Vincent" will be completed in Autumn 2018 https://www.pegasuslife.co.uk/portfolio/clifton-bristol . This view is from Grove Road.

Demolition of filling station on Blackboy Hill
During transformation from an Esso to an Asda outlet. By a curious coincidence, I patronised this very filling station today a few hours before submitting this, nearly five months after taking the photo, though I snobbishly try to avoid supermarket chains with four-letter names.

Blackboy Hill Area - BS8
As a result of the one-way traffic flow system in this vicinity Westbury Road carries traffic down this incline in a southeasterly direction to join Whiteladies Road (A4018). A clock-topped war memorial is set in a 'green island' and a 1940s-50s cast iron urinal sits at the junction with Cabman's Lane (behind the trees). The urinal has been identified as having been manufactured at the Saracen Foundry in Glasgow by Walter Macfarlane & Co. It is still functional.

Victorian utility
The cast iron urinal is now a thing of rarity. Bristol had three such examples of Victorian providence, and this one is Grade II listed - and apparently still open to customers.
Originally it appears to have been installed a little further to the south in around the early 1880s, before arriving here a few years later. See
Image] for a detail.

Doorway in wall, Grove Road, Bristol
Temptingly ajar, but the bins inside make it rather less romantic.
