Gillers Inn/Guilliards Inn, Bristol

• "TNA, E 367/1980 Croswicke, Francis: A messuage called the Gillers Inn in High St., Bristol; and other messuages and cottages in Bristol. Note: P.W. 1651"

• "In Bristol there were, among many others, the Gillers Inn on the High Street, and the White House ..."

• George Bryce, in his History of Bristol (Bristol, 1861) devotes a page and a half to the Guilders Inn, which he identifies with the alternative names of the "Guillows Inn" and the "Guilliards Inn".

Bryce states that the inn stood "on a large and irregular site, part of which is now occupied by the Exchange. It had two entrances, the principal one being from High Street, and the other being from that of St. Nicholas, which was, of course, by a passage. The Crown, in the market, also occupies part of its site; in fact, in later times, the Crown, and the Guilders Inn, were terms used to signify the same tavern." He states that the Guuilders Inn was demolished in 1740, when its site was required for the Exchange.
