This picture shows the Prince Rupert around 1895, the pub was re-built not long after.
Rupert Street was named to commemorate Prince Rupert; who, in July 1643 during the
civil war, captured Bristol for the Crown, only to surrender it back to Lord Fairfax
and the parliamentarians, in September 1645.
This photograph was kindly provided by
Mike Slucutt. Mike's wife Margaret (nee Skuse) is the Great Granddaughter of Octavius
and Sarah (nee Gazzard) Counsell. This is thought to be Octavius and Sarah stood
outside the newly built Prince Rupert, circa 1896. The new pub survived until August
1932 when it was demolished to make way for road widening and the building of Electricity
House.
