Bristol High Street – 1937
1-2 Irish Linen & Hosiery Association Ltd. – Hosiers
This building, called the Dutch House, was originally built in 1676 as a dwelling house at the junction of the four oldest streets in the city. It was unusual, though not unique, for Bristol to have a building of five storeys and an attic (and possibly cellar) and was an outstanding feat of timber construction. Why it was called the Dutch House is not clear, one theory being that the timber frame was constructed in Holland.
Until 1940, it was probably the most photographed building in Bristol, and its many occupiers over the years included: 1810 – Castle Bank Established by James George — a member of the family which ran Georges Brewery – and four partners. 1826 – Stuckeys Bank 1866 – T.W. Tilley, Hatters Shop. – This appears to be when it was first called the Dutch House and the battlements, weather vane and flagpole were added. 1902 – Parry Bros, Tobacconist.
1908 – The building was saved from demolition by the Lord Mayor’s casting vote, the City Council wanting to widen the road. Instead of demolition, the shopfront was cut back to allow extra room for the pavement to pass beneath the overhanging upper floor, and columns were added to support the upper floors.
As well as the unusual appearance, one item of particular interest was a two-dimensional cast-iron soldier on the first-floor balcony of the High Street/Wine Street corner – it was 6ft high, lin thick and wearing a uniform complete with musket and backpack.
The soldier first appeared in a picture of the Dutch House dated 1878 and there have been many pictures of it since, but curiously the soldier is absent from some (possibly removed at intervals for restoration). The building was severely damaged on 24 November 1940 and, at 11.00 a.m. on 27 November 1940, the remains were reluctantly pulled down. The cast-iron soldier survived and found its way for a short time to the top of Philips Furniture Store in Broadmead. Today it lies in the basement of the City Museum — surely a place for its permanent display as near as possible to the site of the Dutch House could be found.
3-13 Jones & Co. Ltd. – Department Store
(See Wine Street)
14-15 G.A. Dunn & Co. Ltd. – Hat Manufacturers
This building (called Gloster House) was on the corner of Mary-le-Port Street. It was rented from Jones & Co. Ltd and Dunn’s moved here on 19 March 1913, then selling only hats. The premises were destroyed on 24 November 1940 and the business transferred across the road to 41 High Street until March 1946, eventually moving to 48 The Horsefair, the business by then being a men’s outfitters.
16-17 Stead & Simpson Ltd. – Boots and Shoes
Stead and Simpson had traded from here since the 1920s, the premises surviving the blitz and the company continuing to trade here until 1960, when it was demolished to allow development of the area.
Above this shop (and 18-19) was Princes Restaurant, which opened in 1924. Its entrance was in Mary-le-Port Street via a staircase between Ideal Cleaners and Stead & Simpson. It was open from 9.00 a.m. until 9.00 p.m. and provided a silver service. Unusually for this area, it was open on Sundays, no doubt because of the demand created by those people attending the many local churches. The business also catered for wedding receptions, club dinners, private parties, whist drives, private and club dances, as well as outside catering.
18-19 Singer Sewing Machine Co. Ltd. – Sewing Machines
Singer’s had operated from these premises since around 1887 until its destruction following enemy action. Upper floors: Princes Restaurant – J. Mahoney, Gent’s Hairdressers – Maison Louise, Ladies’ Hairdressers.
20 H. Salanson & Co. Ltd. – Opticians/Cameras
This company was established in 1887 by Alfred Salanson at 28 High Street and moved to these premises in the 1890s, selling electrical accessories for the ‘new electric light’. Over the following forty years there was diversification into optical and ophthalmic-goods, microscopes, spectacles, cameras and photographic equipment and by 1940 the company also sold a limited range of toys.
(There was a story concerning a young boy who had saved his money to buy some toy soldiers from the shop and had managed to get there just before closing time on Saturday 23 November 1940 – the following Monday would have been too late!) After the blitz, the company moved to Narrow Wine Street (they already had premises in nearby Castle Mill Street), in 1957 to Fairfax Street and in 1987 to The Horsefair in Broadmead. In 1992 the business was acquired by the London Camera Exchange, the name of a longstanding Bristol business therefore disappearing overnight.
