I used to work in the building with the turrets you see in the foreground which had a shared wall with that blaze (largest post-war fire in Bristol). Amazingly the building survived because of the astonishing quality of the Victorian stonework. It was an old engineering works where parts of the SS Great Britain were designed. The doorways were > 7 ft high for a cute reason... so the Victorian gents could walk about with their stove-pipe hats on.
