Extract from
“The Horfield and Bishopston Record”

An Old Bristol Directory
“By special arrangement with Mr. W.J. Jackson, who has been at considerable pains in the matter,
we are about to present our readers with an interesting transcription of the oldest Bristol Directory,
dated 1775, and published by Sketchley. The introductory notes are given this week. Our readers will
no doubt take pleasure in watching the streets as they appear, and noting the great changes that
have occurred. Some may even by this means be able to locate where their ancestors resided in the
18th century. We shall be glad to hear from any readers who can throw any further light on any of
the names or facts contained in the directory.
Among the literary curiosities of Bristol, perhaps one of the greatest interest is the scarce first Bristol
Directory, published in 1775. It was compiled by James Sketchley, “broker, auctioneer, appraiser and
printer”, whose business premises were at 27 Small Street. The little volume, which contains as a
frontispiece, a view of the “Front of ye Exchange”, consists (in addition to the title page, preface and
advertisment) of 126 pages, those from 1 to 110 being occupied by a roughly alphabeted list of
Bristol’s inhabitants arranged by their names. This list has now for the first time been re-arranged to
form a street directory - the names of the inhabitants appearing under the streets wherein they
resided. It might be mentioned here that we have no directory of Bristol arranged by streets until far
into the nineteenth century. The work as now edited is a practical illustration of the extent and
condition of Bristol in 1775, and shows exactly which streets were then in existence. During the last 135
years many changes have, of course, occurred, hundreds of new streets have sprung up, and old
streets have been demolished for the construction of new ones. For instance, Hallier’s Lane then
occupied the site of Nelson Street; Limekiln Lane that of St. George’s Road; while the Butts, Temple
Cross, Steep Street and other thoroughfares have been swept away. A perusal of the directory will
also show some curious changes in the names of existing streets: Tankard’s Close was then Tinker’s
Close; the old Aldersgate Lane had become Aldridge Key Lane, it since having degenerated into
Aldersquay Lane (now demolished); while Queen Street has become Christmas Steps. A strange
circumstance relating to the streets in connection with Redlodge Street (Trenchard Street to Park
Row). Mr. Latimer states (Annals, 18th cent., p:456) that this street was first laid out in 1784, but we now
find that it was in existence and occupied by at least fifteen persons nine years earlier.
One result of this compilation should be the more positive identification of the homes of famous
inhabitants, since the numbering of the houses was carried out by Sketchley on a uniform plan.
Previous to the issue of the first directory, the houses were not universally numbered, some being
distinguished by signs only, but the compiler adopted the system of beginning the numbers in every
street at the end nearest the Exchange, starting at the left-hand side. He says in the Preface: “if a first
or last Number is wanted, it will be found at that end nearest the Exchange, if a middle Number, at
the other end of the Street”.
A curious side-light is thrown on the social history of the 18th century by the occupations of the
persons included in this directory. In spite of the extent of its shipping and trade, the city was served
by one postman only, that individual in 1775 being James Barton, who resided at 6 Chapel Row,
where he augmented his income by letting apartments. The occupations of hour-glass maker,
night-constable, bleeder, barber-surgeon, pattern-maker, peruke-maker, post-chaise man, and
many others reminiscent of past times are also included.
The present arrangement of the inhabitants under streets shows for the first time that there was no
East and West ends in Bristol in the modern sense, for although Park Street and the large Squares were
occupied almost exclusively by the professional classes and merchants, the majority of streets
displayed more catholicity; aldermen, merchants and labourers being sometimes found residing in
the same street. By way of illustration one might turn to Charles Street, St. James’, where at No.1 the
City Chamberlain, Richard Hawkswell, resided, and at No.3 the name of Charles Wesley, the
evangelist, appears, while a surgeon, a “gentleman”, a shoemaker, a stone-cutter, and several
carpenters also appear as neighbours. Although Charles Wesley’s name is mentioned as a resident of
Charles Street, we know that he had removed from Bristol before this date, and the conclusion is
drawn that some years must have been occupied in collecting the names for the directory.
Other well-known names contained in the volume include that of Edmund Burke, who was one of
the Members for Bristol in 1775. The boarding school of the Misses More at 10 Park Street, where Burke
had been a frequent visitor during the preceding year, is also mentioned; William Barrett, surgeon
and historian, appears at 41 St. Augustine’s Back; the partners Burgum and Catcott, pewterers and
dupes of Chatterton, at 2 Bridge Foot. The father of Matthew Wasbrough, inventor of the fly-wheel or
rotative motion of the steam-engine, appears here at 4 Narrow Wine Street, although No.3 is the
house generally associated with his name. Another inventor resided at 126 Redcliffe Street - William
Watts, who as the result of a dream, it is said, patented a new process for the manufacture of shot.
The famous Bristol China Works of Richard Champion we find at 15 Castle Green, and Nicholas
Pocock, who acquired distinction as a painter of naval engagements, is mentioned at 41 Prince’s
Street as “Captain of the Minerva”. The name of Robert Southey’s father appears at 11 (afterwards
re-numbered 9) Wine Street, and the future poet-laureate was born at that address during the year
previous to the publication of the directory. At 25 in the same street is recorded Martha Powell’s
school, where little Robert became a pupil at the age of three. The old Library in King Street to which
Southey afterwards became a subscriber is not mentioned in this part of the directory, but the name
of the librarian at that time, the Rev. Thomas Johnes, is given. The Library has been removed from
King Street within recent years, but it may be of interest to note that its old next-door neighbour, Mr.
Ford (or, rather, his descendant), still occupies the same premises as in 1775, ie King Street Hall,
between the old Library building and the licensed house, now the Bunch of Grapes. The ancestor of
Vincent Stuckey Lean, the donor of the new Reference Library, appears also - John Lean, linen
factor, at 33 Wine Street. Several names well-known at the present time are duplicated in the
directory of 1775, amongst them being Jeremiah Osborne, attorney, at 4 Redcliff Parade; while Fry
and Vaughan, chocolate-makers appear at 8 Narrow Wine Street; and Thos. Tyndal resided at the
Fort, which is occupied today by Miss Tyndall.
In the 110 pages dealt with, about 228 streets are mentioned, and as now arranged contain
altogether 4,086 items. Of this number the following streets furnish the largest number of entries:
Temple Street heads the list with 125 entries, Redcliff Street follows with 124, then Thomas Street with
107, the fourth is the “Key” with 90 entries, Castle Street contains 85 and Stokes Croft 82 entries”.

Aldridge Key Lane, recently Aldersquay Lane
A corruption of the name “Aldworth”, from the fact that Alderman Aldworth caused a dock to be made here. It was filled up in
1687. The Lane was absorbed in the Co-operative Wholesale Society’s building about the year 1900.

The Rummer mentioned below was a well-known inn. Formerly the Greene Lattis stood on or near this site as far back as 1241,
and it appears to have been succeeded by the Abyndon, the New Inn, the Jonas, and finally the Rummer. It was demolished
when the Exchange was erected in 1743, and afterwards the present Rummer was built on a portion of the site.

The Bridewell from which this street takes its name, stood on both sides of the Lane, it was fired by the Rioters in 1831, and rebuilt
in 1835 at a cost of £7,800. An important improvement was effected in 1835 by opening through Bridewell Lane, a street from
Nelson Street to the Horse Fair, covering over part of the Froom, Bridewell Street was widened in 1846, and the new court was
opened in 1880.

As will be seen below, at No.2 (on the right as one approached the bridge from Temple Meads Station way) lived Burgum, the
pewterer, for whom Chatterton drew up a bogus de Bergham ancestral history for 5/-. On the opposite side was at one time Sir
Thomas Day’s “great house”, where Queen Anne was entertained. Close by on Bristol Bridge, Tobias Matthew, Archbishop of
York, was born in 1546. The modern Bristol Bridge was completed in 1768, and has since been twice widened.

Broad Mead
Was a spacious meadow in William Wyrcestre’s time - hence its name. Two famous chapels are contained in this street, one
near the Lower Arcade was the first built by John Wesley (1739), the other Broadmead Baptist Chapel was originally built in 1670.
The first attempt at gas-lighting in Bristol was by Mr. Breillat, a dyer at 56 Broadmead in 1811.

Broad Street
The gateway and church of St. John crossing this street add an old-world touch to the heart of the city. Another interesting
feature is the Guildhall, built 1843-6, on the site of an older structure where in 1685 the famous Judge Jeffreys appeared during
the “Bloody Assize”. The Grand Hotel on the other side of the street, once the White Lion, was the scene of many civic feasts and
was at one time kept by the father of Sir Thomas Lawrence.

One of the four original streets of the ancient city. The Council House was originally built on the old chapel of St. Ewen. The
present Council House, the third to be erected on this site, was erected in 1827. Adjoining was the famous Bush Tavern,
immortalised by Dickens. All Saints’ Church, containing Colston’s tomb, and the Exchange are noteworthy features, as also are
the quaint brass pillars facing the Exchange. These were used by merchants instead of tables when transacting business. At 37,
opposite the exchange, lived Mr. John Lambert, to whom Chatterton was apprenticed in 1767. Richard Reynolds, the
philanthropist, was born in this street in 1735.

Fort, now Royal Fort
On or about the site of Miss Tyndall’s house at the top of Tankard’s Close, St. Michael’s Hill, stood the western bastion of the Royal
Fort, built in 1644. The first house on the left is said to have been the Governor’s residence. At the beginning of the last century
this house was known as the Fort School, kept at one time by the Rev. S. Seyer, historian of Bristol, where many distinguished men
were educated. At this date (1775) the school was kept by John Jones, whose pupils were boarded “in the most genteel
manner” for £16 yearly.

At No.1 lived Henry Cruger, M.P., for many years one of the most influential of local politicians. In 1790 he left Bristol for New York,
his native city. At one time No.2 was occupied by Lant Carpenter’s well-known school. In this street stands the church of St.
George, a building having a handsome Doric portico; here also is Bethesda Chapel, wherein George Muller ministered for many
years.

Hotwells
The spring from which this locality derived its name was celebrated as long ago as 1480. It is said to have been discovered by
sailors who had contracted scurvy after long voyages and who were benefited by drinking and washing in the water. At the
time this directory was first published it was a fashionable resort, hence the number of “L.B.’s”, ie lodging and boarding houses.

Maryport Street
Maryport or Maryleport Street represented, until recently, perhaps better than any other street, the normal aspect of the chief
thoroughfares of Bristol in the 15th century. It was first paved in 1490. It derives its name from St. Mary-le-port Church, so called
from there having once been an embankment or wharf descending from the vicinity of the church to the River Avon. This was
the quay or port where ships discharged their cargoes. The Swan Inn referred to below is mentioned in the early part of the 15th
century.

Old Market
This unusually wide street was anciently the market-place of the castle and “barton” of the king, distinct from the markets of the
townsmen. Down to the Commonwealth it was part of the royal chase of Kingswood. About 50 yards up the street, on the right
-hand side of the road, is the open colonnade of the Stag and Hounds, where for centuries was holden the Pie Poudre (or dusty
foot) Court, in which judgement was given instanter. This court is now incorporated with the Tolzey Court. At No.25 the name
William Reeve appears. He was a Quaker merchant, and built a large house at Brislington, the stables, etc., of which were long
known as “Black Castle”. Mr. Reeve detained some figures from the old gateways of Bristol to adorn the building, which are now
in the Art Gallery.

Queen Square
Houses were first built here during 1700 to 1726. It received its name from the visit of Queen Anne to the city while the Square
was in course of construction. Amongst the associations of he past connected with the Square may be mentioned the
following:- David Hume, the historian, was a clerk in a merchant’s office here, Capt. Woodes Rogers, the privateering captain
who discovered Alexander Selkirk (Robinson Crusoe), lived at No.19. Burke lodged in the Square in 1774, at the house of Mr.
Joseph Smith, mentioned below. J.F. Weare (No.21) was elected Mayor in 1794, but declined to serve. The name Pellican, at
No.51, is probably a mis-print for Peloquin, the testatrix of £19,000 to the Corporation for charitable purposes. It was the principal
theatre of the Riots of 1831. An equestrian statue of William III stands in the centre of the Square.

Redcliff Hill
The first tower for the purpose of making patent shot was erected here. In some “pent up rooms on Redcliff-hill” Coleridge
finished for the press his first volume of poems. When laying out the new line of railway, 1866 - 67, the surveyors came across an
extensive network of subterranean caves under Redcliff Hill which had formerly been used for smuggling and even kidnapping
and slave-dealing purposes.

Recliff Street
The finest parish church in England, St. Mary Redcliff, is in this street. The name is derived from the red sandy rock or cliff upon
which it is built. Canynge’s house and other interesting relics of domestic architecture are contained here. The name of William
Watts, of patent shot fame will be noticed at 126 below. The discovery that shot could be made by means of dropping lead
from a height arose, it is said, from a dream of the wife of Wm. Watts. The patent was afterwards sold for £10,000. No.126 is also
said to be the site of the birthplace of Richard Ricart, calendar and chauntry priest, and in 1479 Town Clerk of Bristol. The Red
Lion Inn mentioned at No.7 below was an ancient hostelry, with a courtyard and galleries in the style of the 14th or 15th century.
It was removed in 1864 and warehouses were erected on its site.

At No.41 below will be found the name of William Barrett, surgeon and historian. The fact that some of Chatterton’s inventions
were incorporated by him in his History of Bristol is said to have hastened his death. On the site of the Gas Co.’s Offices once
stood Hooper’s Hall, afterwards Lady Huntingdon’s Chapel, and later a meeting place for the Salvation Army. During the latter
part of the 18th century it served also as a theatre. The site of the Colston Hall was occupied formerly by the Carmelite Friars’
Great House, the grounds of which extended as far as the Red Lodge in Park Row.

St. James’s Barton
In early times it was the farm-yard of St. James’s Priory. At the date of this Directory, Bond Street was not in existence, and the
Barton was more like a square than now. Notice the cosmopolitan character of its inhabitants in 1775. The house at No.20,
belonging to Sir Abraham Elton, was in 1778 suggested as a Mansion House for Bristol. The sum for its purchase was to have been
£1,500, but the negotiations fell through, and Sir Abraham received £300 for compensation.

Now demolished, and replaced by Colston Street. Here, formerly, was a stone cross and a covered well of water for public
accommodation. This street is mentioned as early as 1252. A fierce hand to hand struggle between the Royalists and the
Parliamentarians is recorded to have taken place here after the surrender by Fiennes to Prince Rupert. At No.3 will be seen the
name of the Ship Inn, a notable 17th century house. The street was swept away in 1871.

Until about 1804 a turnpike-gate stood on the site of Mr. Good’s chemist’s shop. See No.60 below, and notice that the turnpike
man’s house followed the “Swan”, still standing, and at this time the last house on that side of the Croft. At one time a row of
trees was planted down the centre of this road, which was a fashionable promenade. The Baptist College in this street dates
from 1679. In its library are many fine editions of the Bible, the most notable being a copy of Tyndale’s first New Testament, 1526.
A theatre was at one time here, opposite the Baptist College.

Now demolished. Temple Cross itself was demolished in 1794. It had been used as a preaching cross by the vicar of Temple

when it was taken down.

Temple Street
Named from the Knights Templar who founded Holy Cross or Temple Church. The Almshouses here were founded in 1613 by Dr.
White, vicar of St. Dunstan’s, London, who was born in this street. Edward Colston, the philanthropist, was also born here, in a
house opposite the Almshouses in 1636. Among Colston’s gifts to the city was a school for boys in Temple Street. The figure of
Neptune, now in Victoria Street, stood at one time in the centre of Temple Street.

Built in 1711, so called after Nathaniel Wade. Traitor’s Bridge, in Earl’s Mead, was built at the charge of Nathaniel Wade and

Wine Street
Wine Street is full of interesting associations. The name is a corruption of Wynch Street, a pillory having stood at one time near the
centre of the street. Yeoman and Boucher were here executed for plotting to deliver the city to Prince Rupert. They were
hanged nearly opposite the door of Yeoman’s dwelling, which was the house west of the narrow passage to the Grand Hotel
restaurant. The old Guard House Passage is still a right of way to Martleport Street, and the “Dutch” House, at the corner of High
Street and Wine Street, recently restored, is one of the curiosities of Bristol. Robert Southey was born in this street, and his father’s
name aooears at No.11 below, while at No.25 appears the name of Martha Powell, his much disliked school-marm. The name of
Thomas Cadell, the eminent bookseller, will be seen at No.8, and John Lean, linen factor, whose name appears at No.33, was
the ancestor of Vincent Stuckey Lean, the munificent donor of £50,000 to the Public Libraries of this city.
