Can anyone tell me where in Bedminster Harford Square and Laura Place were please. I know they were in existence in 1871 but they aren't in today's Bristol A-Z, so obviously they have been demolished.
Many thanks

Hello Margie.
Laura Place was the stretch of Clarence Road between Mayor's Street and Ship Lane.
Harford Square was not far away off Langton Street and Harford Street.
Although these places were in Redcliff they did come under Bedminster years ago.
Kevin.

Many thanks for that Kevin. I looked on the OS maps for 1902 and couldn't find either Harford Square or Laura Place.
The maps do show a huge public wash and bath house in Mayor Street and just north of both places, but still just behind St Mary Redcliffe, was Cathay Square and the "Artificial Manure" works.

Hi Kevin
Many thanks for the information. Several of the branches of my family lived in that area - I was born in Langton Street. Unfortunately it seems that most of the district has now been demolished. At least I now know where those two streets were.
