Architectural curiosities from Bristol

I don't know what this was at one time, but the black part is a bowl with a pipe leading below, to...

the river down below. Is this the first public urinal in modern Bristol, 'erected' in 1816?
A landmark? to piss in?

[1970s throw-away architecture. the old courthouse, and new skateboard park]
[St. John's conduit. A lot of fuss about fresh water. We'll be doing that again if global warming continues]
[sundial on the side of a church. It was not keeping time, beyond a shadow]
