Full Moon Broad Street

John Gifford is listed as … wholesale and retail dealer in wines, bottled beer, porter &c. Full Moon Tavern, Broad Street, and 39 College Street.

The Full Moon was home to several Masonic Lodges during the mid 19th century. Mathews’ Bristol Directory for 1831 lists the following:

Thistle, Rose, and Shamrock Lodge of Free Gardeners, held at the Full Moon Tavern, Broad Street, days of meeting, every fourth Tuesday evening.

Loyal Bristol City Lodge of Independent Odd Fellows. No.283 of the Manchester Unity, and No.1 Bristol District, held at the Full Moon Tavern, Broad Street. Days of meeting, every second Thursday. Lecture Nights, every alternate Thursday.

In a directory for 1839 … Mona Lodge of Ancient Druids, No. 10, every Thursday Evening; Arch Chapter as above every fourth Wednesday, commencing 19th Dec. 1838.

Directories for 1806, 1816, 1820, 1823 and 1828 have no mention of Masonic Lodges at the Full Moon.

The following information was provided by Martin Mitchell:
My gt.-gt.-gt.-grandfather John Powell came from Wales in about 1775 and took on the Full Moon, with his wife Jane née Evans. Their eight children were born there. John Powell died 24 Aug 1791, and was buried at St John the Baptist in the same grave as his infant daughter Ann who died a week earlier. His widow carried on the business, but died 2 Sep 1807, presumably relinquishing the business not long before her death. Parish Register entries apart, my info comes from a grandson of theirs (my gt.-gt.-uncle), a County Court Judge and sometime MP for Gloucester, John Joseph Powell (1816-1891).
