On the corner with Hawkins Lane this 17th century inn was pulled down in 1857 to
make way for Finzels sugar factory. When Courage’s Brewery was extended in 1967 a
fermenting block was opened on this site. The Bristol Brewery closed down a few years
ago and the site has since been re-developed. Hawkins Lane led down to the original
Countess Slip (Counterslip) opposite St.Peters Church and the ferry to Bristol Castle.
In Bristol’s Colston Hall there is a marble bust of Conrad Finzel; the plinth of
which, is made from an oak beam salvaged from the Fourteen Stars.
