You can call them before you visit to find out what they have in their collection. Another resource for Bristol city directories is Ancestry.com. They have a transcription of the directories for 1882 to 1893. Old Directory Search http://olddirectorysearch.com/ also has a few city directories on-line, although not Bristol. Hope this helps.
