Description: It was named after the St. Laurence's Chapel that was once in the middle of the bridge. It was later flattened to improve the roadway, particularly for trams and was replaced in the 1960s with Churchill Bridge. The houses along the south side of the river crowd around the south entrance to the city. From "A Topographical Survey of the Great Road from London to Bath and Bristol" by Archibald Robertson, 1792, Part II. See Image Ref. 17579.
