Star Redcliff Hill

The Star ceased trading around the time of the first world war when the building was taken over by printers: The General Publishing Syndicate Ltd., who still occupied the building prior to its demolition in 1961. On the 25th March 1888 the Star was taken on a 14 year lease at a rent of £48 per annum by James Lockley, brewer of Lewin’s Mead. The lease was one of 22 sold by James Lockley to the Bristol United Breweries Limited on the 25th March 1892 for the total sum of £11,000. This photograph was kindly provided by David Joy.

Part of an email sent in by Mike Meechem:
Catherine Spratt followed Mary Spratt in 1935 until 1937 when my grandfather sold the pub to the Drake Family. Mrs Ada Drake was the publican until the late 1940’s. It suffered bomb damage during the war and a fire in the roof. Owing to a lack of water at the time attempts were made to control the fire with beer!!!

An extract from “The History of Bristol” by George Pryce, 1861.

Of ancient inns in this parish, the Red Lion, Redcliff Street, was established in 1606, and preserves remains of the old fashioned galleries which once surrounded the yard or court below, and in which doorways led into sleeping apartments for visitors. These galleries were of frequent occurence in the inns of that period.
