Image: © Michael Dibb Taken: 13 Aug 2016
A seamen's home was established in 1853 and the present building with a chapel on the first floor and the home on the ground floor was built in 1880. Between 1957 and 1987 it was the Bristol Evangelistic Centre. Damaged during WWII, the rebuilt far end of the building is a candidate for the title of the most hideously ugly building in Bristol - and there are, unfortunately, many candidates.
