The block of flats on the left appeared as the 'Nelson Mandela House' in the TV classic 'Only Fools and Horses', between 1988-2003. Previously 'The Harlech Towers' in London were used (1981-1985 - see bottom link). The red building you can see is the back of Ashton Gate (home to Bristol City), the car park was also used in some scenes. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=RjNqZYplql0&feature=related http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/289998
