In Between
06 Feb 2021
A lovely walk in the early spring sunshine with my friend Lisa. We headed directly for Jacobs Wells Road, to start off around the scene of one of our earlier walks, but this time took in Jacobs Wells from QEH upward, stopping to snap some photos of a Bear With Me, some interesting areas between Park Street and Brandon Hill including a peculiarly quiet enclave with a ruined old build I'd never found before, then crossed the Centre to grab take-away pies from Pieminister (I had the Heidi Pie) and head back to my place down the harbourside.
Well, okay, according to the listing, "deep curved tetrastyle-in-antis porch with Temple of the Winds capitals to an entablature, and a coffered ceiling."
Well, given who occupies this place, you'd expect good masonry work. This is the home of the Freemasons' Provincial Grand Lodge of Bristol. The inside is meant to be pretty special, too, but sadly I missed the last open day. (Not kidding; the hall opens up to visitors on Bristol's popular Open Doors days)
