My Home City 1940

 The bombed remains with a few retaining walls after the blitz of 24 November 1940 was all that was left of the city's famous Castle Street junction with Peter Street which was a continuation of Mary-le-Port Street, running through to the end of Narrow Wine Street. The part from the Castle Street junction to Narrow Wine Street was known as Little Peter Street. The cobbled Church Lane, which was along the side of Melhuish's Hotel, was Bristol's last medieval thoroughfare which had retained its original width. Only the News Theatre, Bear and Rugged Staff, part of Llewellin’s & James and the shell of St Peter's Church remained, but today, only the church shell.
