KYPBristol Today a petrol station occupies the site of these grand buildings on Park Row. The taller one with the extravagant glass canopy in this 1910s postcard view is the Princes Theatre. The foremost theatrical venue before the war it was destroyed in the blitz.

60sPsychJukebox July 25th 1969 - Neil Young appeared with Crosby, Stills and Nash for the first time when they played at The Fillmore East in New York. Young was initially asked to help out with live material only, but ended up joining the group on and off for the next 30 years. pic.twitter.com/urgipNcuC3

@nosugartea @stillawake I did some brief research but failed to find out. I think the images in my head are probably better than whatever the reality is, anyway. #crazyspidertable
@stillawake @nosugartea It’s very much the kind of thing you get when someone’s rather hurriedly shoved an old, out-of-copyright text onto the Kindle platform. This is one of the reasons I prefer buying old stuff on actual paper, but I wanted to see if I liked his writing enough first!

@nosugartea @ScorpioSting72 Yes, I do often wonder what this whole weird project I’m doing is *for*; I think this kind of serendipity is a good answer.

Bonded Tobacco warehouses, Ashton Swing Bridge, Vauxhall footbridge, the New Cut, a cargo steamer in the Hotwells Dock, G.K.

@dangusset They’re an astounding cast of characters, that’s for sure. And one of the reasons I’m reading this is because there’s a significant Bristol connection… I’m allegedly researching for fiction, but no idea what, if anything, might actually appear.
@njj4 Okay, just got to the bit in his Wikipedia page where his ex-wife’s sister leaves him in favour of L. Ron Hubbard and I’m starting to see what you mean… 😂
@njj4 He’s a bit later than I’ve got to so far, but I’ll keep an eye out for him!

St Andrew-the-Lesser used to stand in the middle. Pevsner said it was “an unforgiveable crime against the architecture of Dowry Square and chapel Row. Of no value either in its own Gothic forms.

I didn’t actually spot this at the time, but by golly I could do with some of *those* right now. Mind you, given the look of the bottle they might well have been one of those Victorian over-the-counter pick-me-ups that turned out to be raw speedballs, or something. pic.twitter.com/IqdFJroRQr
