Bristol Pubs

A traditional pub set near the dockside of Bristol; The Hole in the Wall in Bristol is situated on Queens Square, just off the Centre.

In the 18th century it was one of a number of pubs frequented by seamen in the times when sailors could be kidnapped by press-gangs during wartime and forcibly recruited into serving in the British Navy. The spy house on the dock side of the pub was reputedly used to watch out for press-gangs as well as for government agents searching for smugglers.
