Edward Everard’s Printing Works, Bristol Richard and Gill Edward Everard’s Printing Works in Broad Street, Bristol was built in 1900. The Pre-Raphaelite style facade was designed by WJ Neatby, the chief designer for Doulton and Co. Much of the detail of the finished building stemmed from Everard’s own ideas. He was a great admirer of William Morris, the founder of the Arts and Crafts movement - and Morris is depicted on the right hand side of the facade with his print style. The Spirit of Literature is represented in the centre and on the left hand side is Gutenberg. Everard’s name is depicted in the Art Nouveau typeface he designed.
The printing works ran from Broad Street to Little John Street behind. Most of the building was demolished in 1970 but the facade was preserved as it is the largest decorative facade of its kind in Britain. It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II listed building.
