If, on arrival, you are unable to park at Doctor White’s Close or on Prewett Street, you can park in St Mary Redcliffe and Temple School’s car park as they have kindly let us use it for the afternoon.
Please find below a map indicating the location of the school’s car park:
Hidden away close to St Mary Redcliffe School is a set of 1960s buildings. If you were casually passing by you could easily miss them. They look so unremarkable, but the story of Dr White’s Charity is a very remarkable slice of Bristol’s heritage.
