No.62 Broad Quay (No.22 from around 1904). Previously the St.Patricks Tavern the Garrick’s Head was rebuilt in 1890 and was demolished in 1978 to make way for an extension to the Bristol & West building. The architect of the Garrick’s Head was Edward Gabriel who also designed the Cambridge Arms in Redland and the Pilgrim, Brislington. Mathews’ Directory records the name change in 1856; however, Slaters’ Directory lists the pub as the Garrick’s Head in 1853. In 1828, John Fisher is listed as: ‘waterproof hat maker and wholesale & retail spirit dealer, (home brewed beer)’.
