MY MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER WAS BORN IN LITTLE GEORGE STREET IN 1892. SHE ALWAYS SAID SHE WAS BORN "OUTSIDE THE GATE". THE GATE SHE WAS REFERRING TO WAS LAWFORDS GATE AT THE TOP OF OLD MARKET. THIS WAS ONCE THE ENTRANCE WAY INTO THE OLD CITY OF BRISTOL FROM THE EAST SIDE. THE DISTRICT OF ST JUDES WAS IMMEDIATELY OUTSIDE OF THE CITY WALLS. IT WAS A POOR AREA. OLD PHOTOS ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND AS THE PEOPLE WHO LIVED THERE SIMPLY DID NOT OWN CAMERAS. THIS VIDEO INCLUDES PHOTOS I HAVE COLLECTED AND SOME THAT I TOOK IN THE 1970s AND 1980s. MANY THANKS TO GEORGE JEFFERIES FOR THE PHOTOS OF HARPERS CAR SALES. LAWFORDS GATE PRISON WAS BUILT IN 1791. IT WAS SET ON FIRE AND SEVERELEY DAMAGED IN THE BRISTOL RIOTS OF 1831. THE PRISON WAS DEMOLISHED IN 1926. ST JUDES CHURCH WAS OPENED IN 1849.
