1820 Settler Places in Britain and Éire

In many cases, particularly in cities like London and Bristol, many buildings with settler ties no longer exist. In such cases I have tried to include historical pictures where possible, and where I have not been able to take pictures myself I have added pictures from www.geograph.co.uk, which can be used under a Creative Commons Licence. Where the photographer’s name appears as a clickable link followed by a CC BY-SA 2.0 reference, the original photo can be viewed together with other photographs of the surrounding area.

The pictures are currently arranged by county for England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, with separate sections for the cities of Birmingham, Bristol, Dublin, Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, Manchester and Nottingham. London has been further sub-divided into Boroughs so as not to have too many pictures in one file. The pictures appear as small icons with a brief title. Clicking on them will reveal a larger picture with text explaining the link to one or more settlers and a credit to the photographer. Clicking on the + sign will further enlarge the picture to full screen (ESCape to exit full screen), and the photographs can all be downloaded from the site.

Bristol Bridge crosses the floating harbour in Bristol, the original course of the River Avon. The bridge was completed in 1768 and was originally a toll bridge, but following the Bristol Bridge riots of 1793 the tolls were removed. The photo, taken from Welsh Back, shows the ruins of St.Peter's Church in the background, where Henry Thomas LLOYD (son of Henry James LLOYD and Rebecca POULTON) was baptised. All those who sailed on the Kennersley Castle will have crossed this bridge at some point.
