The 17th century Three Kings Inn was one of many old coaching inns in the vicinity
of Redcliff Street; which, up until the 1930’s was the main road through Bristol
from the midlands. It once boasted stabling for 100 horses and in later years was
the goods receiving warehouse of the Midland Railway, it is pictured here in 1906
a few years before the building was demolished.
