The following persons, organisations and historical resources have been invaluable in preparing this architectural database and deserve both recognition and my thanks.
Biographical information on Bristol architects has already been established by the following key texts.
A special thanks is made to Andrew Foyle, Timothy Mowl and other architectural historians who have in been generous with their time in looking over research and answering questions on my ancestor and others relevant topics.
In respect of digital resources, which deserve recognition and thanks - the City of Bristol has some unrivalled digital historic resources including those from the Bristol & Avon Family History Society, the Bristol Record Office and the City Design Group's 'Know Your Own Place'. The use of these local resources in combination with the British Newspaper Archive (British Library and Findmypast), Ancestry, The London Gazette, Archive.org and Google-Books has provided easy access to a range of nineteenth century records. Without these resources, the biographical information that I have collected and discovered would be much more laborious.
Images of the buildings used on the front page are sourced from Google Maps street view.
