This commemorative plaque records: Bloy Street was first recorded as part of Bristol in 1888 and was probably Bristol's longest and straightest residential street. Running east to west, Bloy Street is a typical mid to late Victorian development and has always been the focus of a strong and active community spirit. The street suffered badly during the Winter Blitz of November 1940 to April 1941, when a young boy was killed during one night raid on Bristol. The community recovered and continued to ensure Bloy Street's role as an important part of Bristol. In recent years the street suffered decline and concerns were expressed over its future. The street has been redeveloped in parts with the remaining original houses being renovated. The regeneration of the street was a partnership as part of the Easton Renewal Area declared by Bristol City Council in 1991. Recorded plaque organisation: Living Easton.
