Hertiage Tour

The Bristol City Tourism website has some free walking audio tours you can download, so I thought it would be fun one day to try one.

This is in the city centre. It's a statue of Poseidon, which represents the city's nautical history.

This was the alms house for the poor.

This is the city theater. It is the oldest working theater house in the country.

This is a mural in the City Gates. There are a lot of graffiti art like this around the city since the famous artist, Bansky, is from Bristol.

The is the Red Lodge. It was built in 1580 and has had several uses since then. It was a girls reform school in 1730 when the widow of Lord Byron bought it.

An old grandfather clock.

A fire place. I loved the decorated tiles around it.

Harpsichord.

I loved this fire place.

It has a small garden in the back. It was closed that day, so I wasn't able to walk around it.

A tudor-style bedroom. All the wood work, including the bed is original, although I don't the the draperies are original.

The grand staircase in the house.

The main living room.

It was a fun little tour and it was nice to discover more about Bristol's history.
