ANGEL  High Street

When Nicholas Street was widened in 1864, the building on the corner of High Street (28) and the Angel Inn were pulled down, the house next door to the Angel became unstable and eventually collapsed in July 1865. Although the Angel had only a 14 foot frontage in High Street, the establishment was L shaped and took up 35 feet of Nicholas Street.   This corner has been rebuilt twice since this picture was taken, on the site today is St.Nicholas House (Lloyds TSB).  Henry Edward Allen was Secretary of the Bristol Licensed Victuallers’ Protection Association and Benevolent Fund.
