The Seven Stars Public House (grid reference ST591727) is an historic public house situated on Thomas Lane, Bristol, England.
It was built in the 18th century and is a grade II listed building.[1]
It is one of Bristols oldest pubs, being in operation since 1760. Many of the old framed pictures on the walls are testiment to the old area in which the Seven Stars stands, with particular reference to Thomas Clarkson, the anti-slavery campaigner, who spent time there (with the knowledge of the then landlord Mr Thompson) putting together information later supplied to his friend William Wilberforce to be used in support of the Act for the Abolition of Slavery. There is website for the inn,Seven Stars, which has many pictures of the olde inns in Redcliffe - some still operational today.
