This view was recorded five years before Steep Street, curving away to the left, was demolished and replaced by a realigned road, Colston Street. The photograph was published in 1891 as a nostalgic view by Bristol art publishers and print sellers Frost & Reed. A limited run of 100 prints was produced and the negative destroyed.
