I find this very useful when looking up addresses. If an address is not in it, I then turn to the Alan Godfrey Old Ordnamce Survey Maps of Bristol. Street Names of Bristol: Their Origins and Meanings (2002 2nd. edition, Veronica Smith, is useful in finding out the history of Bristol street names. Picton Street is named after Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Picton who died at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
