Click ^ for larger image.
This picture is credited to photographer and postcard publisher Fred Little. Its title is 'Arno's Castle, Bristol. View of the Castle from the Meadows'. We are looking to the southwest across a rural landscape with a fenced clump of trees in the middle of a field, toward part of the complex of buildings that comprised Arno's Castle. The credit on the back of the postcard reads 'Little & Barber, buyers of Old English Furniture and Works of Art.'
This building is rather better known nowadays as the Black Castle public house at St Phillips Causeway, and is an 18th century Grade 1 listed building. Earliest known picture: printed before 3 June 1918.
