It was heavily damaged by aerial bombing in 1940, and was relegated to an un-named service road and footway in post-war reconstruction of the area. Recent versions of the Bristol Local Plan have sought to re-instate this street and some of the surrounding historic street layout, to improve the link between the shopping area of Broadmead and the St Nicholas Market area.[2] HistoryMary le Port Street originated as a pre-conquest hollow way. Archaeological excavations in 1962 to 1963 found evidence of late Saxon activity on either side of this way, and of a timber building from this period. In the 13th century or later the hollow way was filled in and paved, possibly using material derived from the digging out of cellars in the area. St Mary le Port Church was probably built in Saxon times, and was subsequently enlarged and rebuilt to reach its peak of development in the 15th century.[4]Writing in the 1920s, Charles Wells described Maryleport St as a place where: {{quote|text= ...in the old time all the houses overhung so far that it used to be said opposite neighbours could shake hands out of the window. Most of these houses have now given way to less picturesque, but more convenient buildings, but there are still a few of the old ones left. |title=Bristol's History |author=Charles Wells }} Wells described the church as being much hidden from view by these old shops, and best viewed from its churchyard behind.[5] The street made an impression on J. B. Priestley when he visited in 1933: {{quote|text= What is especially admirable about Bristol is that it is both old and alive, and not one of your museum pieces, living on tourists and the sale of bogus antiques. It can show you all the crypts and gables and half-timbering you want to see; offers you fantastic little old thoroughfares like Mary-Le-Port Street and Narrow Wine Street; has a fine display of the antique, the historical, the picturesque; but yet has not gone 'quaint' but is a real lively bustling city, earning its living and spending its own money.[6] |author=J B Piestley |source=English Journey (1934) }} Along with the surrounding ancient streets, Mary le Port Street was bombed on the night of 24 November 1940 and almost completely destroyed.[7] Post-war reconstruction plans for a new Civic Centre – consisting of an art gallery, museum, hotel and exhibition centre, to be built in the area between St Peter's Church and High Street – came to nothing, and the sites on either side of Mary le Port Street were leased to the Bank of England and the Norwich Union Insurance Company,[8] whose now-derelict buildings still occupy the sites. TodayMary le Port Street has disappeared from the map; its carriageway was taken up in October 1963.[9] The ruins of St Mary le Port Church are a scheduled monument,[10] whilst the tower is a listed building.[11] In 2018, Bristol City Council sought to reinstate this street: {{quote|text=The reinstatement of St Mary-le-Port street as a primary pedestrian axis linking St Nicholas Markets to St Peter's Church is a priority, along with establishing a grain of buildings that will allow for the proper integration of the Church. |author=Bristol City Council |title=The City Centre Framework-Old City-character statement and place plan[12] }} The site of Mary le Port Street is within the Old City and Queen Square Conservation Area.[13] GalleryReferences1. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://www.bristol.gov.uk/documents/20182/34540/BCAP%20Adopted%20March%202015%20-%20Main%20Document%20&%20Annex%20-%20Web%20PDF.pdf/d05a0c22-ab91-4530-926a-f26160ab72a5 |title=Bristol Local Plan – Bristol Central Area Plan |work=Bristol City Council |accessdate=27 April 2018 }} [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]2. ^1 {{cite book |title=The Medieval Churches of Bristol |publisher=University of Bristol (Bristol branch of the Historical Association) |author=M Q Smith |date=1970 |page=4}} 3. ^1 {{cite book |title=Bristol's History |publisher=Reece Winstone |author=Charles Wells |date=1969 |page=27 |isbn=0 900814 29 2 }} 4. ^1 {{cite book |title=English Journey |first=J.B. |last=Priestley |chapter=To Bristol and Swindon |year=1934 |publisher=Heinemann}} 5. ^1 {{cite book |title=West at War |first1=James |last1=Besley |first2=Helen |last2=Reid |publisher=Redcliffe Press Limited |isbn=0 948 265 64 7 |chapter=2 Living Through the Blitz |date=1990}} 6. ^1 {{cite book|title=The Fight for Bristol|last1=Priest|first1=Gordon|last2=Cobb|first2=Pamela|publisher=Bristol Civic Society and The Redcliffe Press|year=1980|chapter=Open Spaces}} 7. ^1 {{cite book |title=Bristol as it Was 1963–1975 |first=John |last=Winstone |page=17 |year=1990 |isbn=0 900814 70 5 |publisher=Reece Winstone}} 8. ^1 {{National Heritage List for England|num=1208338|desc=Tower of Church of St Mary-le-Port|access-date=2018-04-30}} 9. ^1 {{National Heritage List for England|num=1021385|desc=St Mary-le-Port Church|access-date=2018-04-30}} 10. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://bristol.citizenspace.com/growth-regeneration/city-centre-framework/supporting_documents/CCF%20Old%20City%20subarea%20March%202018.pdf |title=The City Centre Framework – Old City – character statement and place plan |work=Bristol City Council City Design Group |year=2018 |access-date=2018-05-10 |page=4-6}} 11. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://www.bristol.gov.uk/documents/20182/33832/city-and-queen-square-character-appraisal-red-1.pdf |work=Bristol City Council |access-date=2018-05-03 |title=Conservation Area No.4 – City and Queen Square – Character Appraisal}} }} 3 : History of Bristol|Streets in Bristol|Archaeological sites in Bristol |
