One perfect day in Bristol... ideas?

Hello I will take the railway to Bristol arriving at 09:30 and depart at 15:00.

I have had a look at the tourism website. I would like to see the SS Great Britain and the Clifton Bridge. I am interested in the harbourfront and possibly seeing the street with the longest set of independent shops in the UK.

Is this all possible?

Thorn Tree surely is not what it once was when it comes to the UK:(

You might get some ideas for the harbourside from my blog post http://www.heatheronhertravels.com/10-things-to-do-in-bristol-harbour/ and also this one about all there is to see in Bristol http://www.heatheronhertravels.com/25-fun-things-to-see-in-bristol/. In the time you have available you can see some things in the harbour and a bit of Clifton but you'll be pushed for time - possibly better to do one or the other as they are in different parts of the city and require a bus ride between. The independent shops is Stokes Croft leading to Gloucester Rd - again it's in a different direction from the other two things.
