City Inn Bristol

Where to find prostitutes in 1904 England towns such as Bristol.?

I'm writing a story in which a very prominent man (one that is so against the lower class that he refuses to visit the LOCAL inns or pubs so that he doesn't have to mix with anyone lower than him) becomes so desperate for the companionship of a prostitute that he goes out to find one. My problem? I'm in America and have NO idea where a man in England in the early 1900's would specifically go to find such a woman. Would he be able to find a prostitute in a pub or were there special houses (brothels) for such a thing or were they just on the streets soliciting themselves? I realize that all of the above may have been a possible place to find a prostitute, so what I'm MAINLY asking is- Where was the most prominent place that a very rich and secretive man might go to in order to find him such a woman? As well, this must be a place in which there would most definitely be men there such as pimps that would protect the woman if she were being hurt. Thank you and all answers are appreciated even if it's just a link to check out. I'm on Wikipedia right now, but I kind of need specifics. Thanks bunches!! Ashley

1. I think in those days it wasn't as structured and organized as it is today. An area of town, probably down near the docks (due to the sailors) would have taverns where you could meet.
