Fresh Fields

For the first time in a while, I had the time and energy to go further afield and knock off some new roads from my "to do" list. I headed through the first Hotwells Festival to Ashton and Bedminster to cross off a few of the suburban roads south of North Street.
First, though, I decided to try to reproduce an old photo of the now-demolished Rownham Hotel just around the corner from where I live...
This was St David's Church; it was originally a mission church for St Paul's Southville, which is further east, just outside my mile radius. It was turned into a church hall for a while, but reverted to church status a couple of times, most notably while St Paul's was rebuilt after the Luftwaffe destroyed most of it in 1941.
It is, of course, flats now.
Know Your Place has a pic of it ca. 1910 from the Vaughan collection (BRO 43207/9/13/105).
