From Merchant Parish to Modern Quarter

Redcliffe is a district in central Bristol, England, occupying a prominent bend of the Floating Harbour immediately south of the Old City. Named for the red sandstone cliffs that once rose above the riverside, the area is renowned for the soaring Gothic landmark of St Mary Redcliffe, its network of subterranean caves, and its maritime heritage. Once a thriving medieval port parish at the heart of Bristol's overseas trade, Redcliffe has evolved into a dynamic mixed-use neighborhood of offices, apartments, hotels and restored waterfront spaces. - AsNotedIn
