Merchant Bankers to Modern Merchants

Bristol's Old City is the historic heart of Bristol, England, where medieval lanes and narrow passageways weave between some of the city's most impressive commercial architecture. Once the financial and trading center of western England, the district is renowned for its richly ornamented Baroque, Venetian Gothic and Neo-Classical facades that housed banks, exchanges, and merchant offices. Centered on Corn Street and Small Street, the Old City has evolved from a hub of commerce into a lively destination of independent shops, markets, restaurants and cultural venues. Today, its largely pedestrianized streets host regular food and farmers' markets while preserving the character of Bristol's medieval past. - AsNotedIn
