The big building in the foreground is the Cathedral. The church with the tall spire in the centre of the picture is St. Mary Redcliffe. Just to the lft of this church can be seen one of the many conical kilns that used to be scattered in and around Bristol. I think this is the one in Prewett Street which was partially demolished in 1936 because it became unsafe. In 2001, the 25 ft high stub of the origianl 18th century, 60 ft tall building was converted into a restaurant. In 1722 there were 15 of these kilns in the Bristol area, by 1833 there were only four left.
