Formerly part of City of Bristol College until 2015, seen across Ashley Down Road. "Brunel House was the second of 5 large barrack-type orphanage buildings to be built from 1847 to 1870 by the Prussian-born pastor and philanthropist George Muller. The orphanage was built entirely from voluntary contributions ... 1857, by John Foster and Son" https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1375994 . I think there are 60 flats in the building. See also Image
