Little John Street.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-05-26. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-07.
The pedestrianised cul de sac Little John Street in Bristol is a side street of John Street.
The earliest record of this street known to IRHB is the Bristol Poll Book (1833), which lists voters at the parliamentary election in 1832.[1] The earliest cartographical evidence found so far is a 25" O.S. map of the area published in 1885 (see Maps section below). A rather similar situation is found with Great and Little John streets in Manchester.
