It is also believed to have been called Lonsford’s Stairs for a short time, in honour of a Royalist officer of that name who was killed at the top of the steps during the siege of Bristol in the English Civil War of the 1640s. Not so long ago, the street was full of quirky antique shops and book shops, which attracted tourists and browsing shoppers from all around. my grandparents operated a pub, the Gaiety on Christmas steps for many years at the turn of the 19th/20th Cent. There was also, when I "were a lad" a famous Button Shop the contents of which were utterly amazing and quite unique. I believe, they were auctioned off on the death of the owner. Such gems as Christmas Steps would be cherished by any other city Council, just look at the appalling architecture around Bristol centre, what a heritage!!!Perhaps the party will go some way to breathing fresh life into this very special, irreplaceable little corner of Bristol. However, the more traders I spoke to, the more apparent it became that Christmas Steps has been gradually losing the charm and atmosphere that it once enjoyed. It seems a shame that one of the most historic and delightful parts of the city should be allowed to dwindle in this way.

Today, however, there remains just one pub - The Three Sugar Loaves - at the base of the steps, with not a single brothel in sight. Others suggest that the name may be derived from the nativity scene found in a stained glass window of The Chapel of the Three Kings of Cologne, which lies at the top of the steps.These festive chips contain lots of the traditional trimmings of a Christmas dinner, fried with festive seasoning and a portion of chips! They’re so delicious it was hard for me and my husband not to eat them all before I got a decent photo. Heat a pan to medium heat and add in the pigs in blankets and onions (no need to add oil as the fat from the pigs in blankets will grease the pan – if at any point you don’t have enough oil to get everything moving add a little more) A large office building now obscures much of the view of the steps from the bottom, which perhaps partly explains the decline in tourists to the area in recent years.
