Roadworks at Eat:Bedminster
Something of a minor nuisance, but East Street is closed to all traffic on the food festival today anyway.
One quality
This old Bedminster butcher's shop still proudly proclaims its standards, despite being closed now. However, the neighbouring shop building has lost its top - see ST5871 : Not much above now.
Un-named alley off East Street
Running past the shop the little lane only goes a short distance to the yard beyond.
Not much above now
A hairdresser's shop has lost a lot of the tiling. This row of shops look like they won't survive the regeneration of Bedminster currently taking shape.
Toilet under the hammer?
The disused public conveniences on Cannon Street have been closed for a good few years but recent activity has brought hoardings. The big advert on the block appears to infer the site is up for auction. Who would buy it - and then demolish it for new housing?
Roundabout
Dundry hill in the background and the tower blocks are in Hartcliff.
The Mede Community and Learning Centre
Situated at Inns Court, the Mede serves Knowle West as a community centre.
Holy Cross church, West Knowle
This modern building serves a large swathe of the suburbs of South Bristol.
Housing off Inns Court
Low-rise, high density housing in Knowle, South Bristol.
In the distance can be seen the radio mast on Dundry Down.
Shops at Inns Court
A small parade of shops adjacent to the church and community centre in West Knowle. See ST5869 : The Mede Community and Learning Centre, ST5869 : Holy Cross church, West Knowle, ST5869 : Housing off Inns Court.
Filwood cinema
This art deco building stands as a testimony to how the suburbs of South Bristol have changed in the 50+ years since this building was in its prime.
At least the local graffiti artist has made something of the blank canvas.
