Bristol Guild of Applied Art
Department store on Park Street, Bristol, England (1908–2024)
The Bristol Guild of Applied Art, more commonly referred to within Bristol as simply The Guild, was a privately held department store on Bristol's Park Street in the UK. Founded in 1908, the Guild was inspired by the philosophy of William Morris, and originally offered a place for artists and craftsmen to come together, learn from each other and sell their wares. It continued to showcase artists both local and foreign, while also operating as a more conventional small department store until its closure in 2024.
