Looking at it quickly .. I would imagine it to be St George's Buildings, Boars Head Yard, Bristol .. I wonder if the Boars Head was a pub?
Regards,
Pels :)

There was most certainly a Boars Head situated in College Place.

In the parish of Bristol St Augustine
if that is any help?

I will post the image of the address for you! :)

The parish of St. Augustine in Bristol refers to Bristol Cathedral which is situated on College Green. College Place and St. George's Road ran along behind College Green. To the best of my knowledge, The Boars Head pub is no longer there.

I have ordered a 1901 streetmap of st georges in bristol, so i hope i can track down the mystery of the Bdgs , i am hoping to find a Boars head yard or locate some of the streets of the pubs we have seen.
I like to visit the places that my ancestors lived, and one day i will find one that is still there
thanks

Kind regards,

Hi
It is the one near College Green.
Checkout
http://www.old-maps.co.uk search for College Green, Bristol use map number 6 as it is the clearest, I know it is later but there is no appreciable difference in the buildings compared with the earlier ones.
If you follow the map westwards College Green becomes Deanery Road and then joins St Georges Road.
This is close to Brandon Hill (a large open space, now a park) and the next road mentioned on the 1881 census is Brandon St.
On the census there are a lot of different households in St Georges Buildings so it looks like it was something similar to a tenement as they called them in Scotland.
It is always worthwhile going backwards and/or forwards through the census to find the previous roads on the census takers route.
In this case it is also very near the Turkish Baths http://www.victorianturkishbath.org/2HISTORY/AtoZHist/Hammam/pix/BartsBristol_w.htm
as that appears after StGsBldgs and before Brandon Hill.
You will see from the above link that the T Baths building location is now council offices and this link http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=BS1+5UY&iwloc=A&hl=en
shows you where it is (there should be a Green arrow head IDing it).
St George (No 's) is a totally different area of Bristol and would not have been in St Augustines parish.
St Augustines is the name of the large church on College Green (seen on the old map) and is now Bristol Cathedral.

hi again
The highlighting of the words StGeorge in the above seems to be a link that Ancestry have put in automatically, it probably provides advertising revenue to keep the site going. :D
Edit
and having posted this it now seems to have disappeared.

I think it's this site that highlighted the link Stinton .. if you look at the top of the page ..
