Description:
This beautifully detailed watercolor by Jack Grunwell captures the historic Christmas Steps in Bristol, one of the city’s most iconic medieval streets. Originally built in the 17th century and later "stopped" in 1669 by merchant Jonathan Blackwell, the steeply inclined stone staircase is lined with Tudor-style timber-framed buildings, Georgian facades, and historic shopfronts, making it one of the most atmospheric locations in Bristol’s Old City.
The painting beautifully conveys the lively charm of Christmas Steps, with figures dressed in period attire, bustling shops, and the soft glow of lanterns. The composition captures the historic Three Sugar Loaves pub, a well-known establishment along the route, adding to the authenticity and character of the scene.
Key Features:
Depicts Christmas Steps, one of Bristol’s most famous historic streets, originally part of a medieval route through the city.
Includes notable architectural elements such as Tudor timber-framed buildings, Georgian facades, and historic shopfronts, capturing Bristol’s rich urban heritage.

Delicate watercolor tones and fine detailing enhance the depth and nostalgia, making this an ideal piece for collectors of Bristol landmarks, English street scenes, and historic cityscapes.
This artwork would make a fantastic addition to collections focused on Bristol’s urban history, historic market streets, and traditional British architecture, offering both historical significance and artistic charm.
