The Port of Bristol Authority did indeed have at one time their own Ambulance Service. However, it was operated by the Port Police who wore their normal tunic buttons featuring an anchor topped with an oval containing the part arms of the City & County of Bristol. I don't know what this button represents, however, I doubt it having any connection with Bristol or its Port. As a matter of interest, several ports and harbours in England and Wales have operated their own Ambulance Service viz: London, Felixstowe, Dover, Tilbury and Bristol to name a few.
