Hannah More Primary School is named after Hannah More who was born Fishponds, Bristol in 1745 and who died in Clifton, Bristol in 1833. The school was previously known as Barley Fields Junior School. In the C19th there were hemp and flax mills and iron works opposite the school here in Upper Cheese Lane, this road’s previous name. Hannah More was an evangelical Christian writer, a poet, a playwright and a philanthropist who joined other influential individuals of her day in campaigning against the slave trade, in which Bristol was heavily involved. A previous Hannah More School, built in the 1840s, existed in Old Market, Bristol. Temple Meads Railway Station is a 10 minute walk away, behind the photographer.
