Bristol slum clearance?

I was born in Bristol in an area which got cleared in the 1960's. I've been trying to find the street I used to live in to no avail. I only know it was near Lawrence Hill and I can recall going to St George's park and being tasken to nursery school past a train station. The street was called Elizabeth street Lawrence Hill and was loads of terraced houses with front doors opening right on to the pavement. Have you any idea where I might find any reference to the area it was in, or perhaps a map?

Re: Bristol slum clearance?

Hi Pam, I have sent you an email with a copy of an old map showing where Elisabeth street used to be. Basically its where Sarah Street Laurence Hill now stands. Any problems with the maps please feel free to get in touch.
