37 and 39 Jamaica Street is the address of an historic carriage-works in Jamaica Street, Stokes Croft, Bristol.
It was originally built in 1905 as a two-storey building, but a further two floors were later added.[1]
After the hulk HMS Daedalus was sold for scrap in 1911, 37 Jamaica street became the home of the Bristol Royal Naval Reserve unit, before moving to the 24-class sloop HMS Flying Fox in the 1920s.[2]
Between 1975 and 2001 it was occupied by Powred Heating & Burner Spares, a local supplier of parts for central heating systems.
The top 3 floors of the building are inhabited by artist-led Jamaica Street Studios, home to around 30 artist studios for over 25 years. The ground floor is now run by the artist group as a collaborative creative space for exhibitions, workshops, and events.
It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II listed building.[1]
