Red Cow

Red Cow West Street

These pictures of the Red Cow were kindly provided by Carolyn Caflisch, the first picture shows the pub sometime between 1890 and the first world war. The sign bears the name of S. T. Martin but it is not known if this is landlord Samuel Martin stood in the doorway. Above the bay window is painted… ‘established over a century’. The wall at the left of the pub was lost when a bomb was dropped on the Red Cow yard during the war. The second picture was taken in March 2005. The Red Cow, one of the oldest buildings in south Bristol, has since been demolished.
