Commercial Rooms, Bristol

The Commercial Rooms, located on Corn Street in Bristol, is a historic Grade II* listed building constructed in 1810 by architect Charles Busby. Originally serving as a club for merchants, it features notable sculptures by J. G. Bubb and a wind vane that once guided sailors through the Avon Gorge. The building has a rich history, including being the first telegraph office in Bristol and a gathering place for local businessmen. Today, it operates as a pub owned by Wetherspoons, retaining elements of its storied past, including the names of its former leaders displayed on the wall boards.
