I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
The Church of St John the Baptist in Bristol, also known as St John on the Wall, is a historic church - the upper church and its medieval vaulted crypt is located at the lower end of Broad Street and is actually built into the old city’s medieval walls.
The church was built in the 14th century (and heavily modified in the 19th century) with the tower and steeple over St John’s Gate, the last remaining city gateway. The church is very narrow as it is built into and alongside the city walls. Consequently, it is also known as St John’s on the Wall.
Im not normally a fan of using a drone to photograph buildings in inner city locations, but what makes this different for me is its location which is slap bang in the middle of large, well known pieces of street art (several of which ive included in the photo of the church on the office blocks behind it)
Broad Street in Bristol is known for a variety of street art, including the work of Conor Harrington, who uses a blend of contemporary and classical styles. The street also features more general graffiti and urban art. The area around Broad Street is part of a broader street art scene that includes Stokes Croft, Southville, and Bedminster.
The area is worth a drone’s-eye view of the art painted high on the nearby buildings, but there are impressive pieces of work at ground level (including a couple of nearby Banksy pieces) – several walking tours of Bristol street art are advertised online and worth a look if this is something that interests you
