MF229 Towerhirst

Towerhirst, Seawalls, Bristol

A rainbow arches over Towerhirst, the striking Grade II Listed house near Seawalls, Durdham Down, Bristol.

The house was designed by architect, John Henry Hirst (born in Yorkshire but later practising in Bristol) to give views over the Avon Gorge. It dates back to the second half of the 19th Century (Circa 1860). Interesting features include an octagonal, half-timbered turret just visible above the roof line in this ‘phone image.
