May I suggest that you try this site:

http://www.bristolhistory.com/?pageid=46302

I have not had time to explore it completely to know if it contains images that you are looking for, but it is an absolutely fantastic website - I've been lost for hours looking at all sorts of things.  It seems to cover a wide area both geographically and historically.

Hundreds of pictures, well worth a brows throught the various sites

Thanks Bob & Little Nell for replies

I have checked out the Bristol History Site,
I agree, it's a fantastic site.
I also have tried images on Google  Bob, with no luck there.

The street I am looking for is
Glenburn Road (number 56 to be precise)
In the Kingswood area of Bristol

I believe it was the first house to be built in the road in 1918?
It was formally known as "Glenburn House " and owned by a William Venn.

So I guess I shall just have to keep plodding on, thanks once again to you both
