A sublime example of High Victorian vigour, or perhaps madness. By Ponton & Gough, 1869. A riot of different openings and polychromatic brick, orange, black and cream from Bristol's favoured Cattybrook works (Image]). The top is a sham castle. The stylistic influences are Gothic, Venetian, Moorish and Byzantine. Grade II* listed. Barton Willmore converted it to flats in 2002 - one imagines they don't benefit from much natural light.
