A raggedy wander with my friend Lisa, picking up a few stray streets and venturing only briefly onto Whiteladies Road, where it was too damn busy, given the current pandemic. We retreated fairly quickly. Found a couple of interesting back alleys, and got a very pointed "can I help you?" from a man who was working in his garage in one of the rather run-down garage areas behind some posh houses, and clearly didn't want us just wandering around there.
The first woman in the UK to qualify and work as a doctor, says Wikipedia. Among other things, she established The Read Dispensary for Women and Children in Hotwells, so I'll have to see if I can track down where that was. It might, of course, have been in the bit of Hotwells that was demolished to make way for the flyovers, though.
Oh! No, a quick check seems to show that it's the building on St George's Road that now houses Oryx Recruitment. I know the building well.
