The New Cut was hand-dug out of the south Bristol area in the early 1800s to allow the River Avon to carry on its tidal rise and fall whilst the old rivercourse was turned into the Floating Harbour. Here are some of the supporting buttresses in front of the large block of flats of Waring and Francombe House.
