St Paul's (Southville) Church Tower viewed through Old gateway

            Everyone knows that the gate 'round the corner is part of the Old Bristol Gaol, torched in the 1831 reform riots - I'd never really thought about it before though, but this hefty section of wall (previously hidden by advertising hoardings) and gateway must also have been part of it. Odd though, that from what i've read, the building ceased being a prison in 1883, but the date on the keystone on the gateway is 1890...

EDIT: J. S. Fry and Sons warehouse, Cumberland Road
Description: J. S. Fry and Sons warehouse, located on the northern side of Cumberland Road. The warehouse was constructed in 1890, reusing part of the perimeter wall of the New Gaol (BUAD 63M) as the external wall on the south-eastern side in which a number of new window openings were created. The north and west walls of the building were partly demolished and rebuilt in 1931 (BRO Building Plans Vol.112 fo.53) with a series of pitched roofs. In 1932 the building became Baldwin's Garage Ltd. and remained in use as a garage until the 1950s.
