Viewed across Bridge Road on the North Somerset side of the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Burwalls House is a mansion built in the ornate Jacobethan style in 1872 for the owner of the Bristol Times newspaper, Joseph Leech. It was designed by architects Foster and Wood, a Bristol firm responsible for many buildings in the city in the mid to late 19th century, including Bristol Grammar School and the former Grand Hotel, Broad Street. Later, Burwalls was the home for decades of the Wills tobacco family. It was most recently owned by Bristol University, which used the property for academic conferences. The property was for sale at the date of this view.
