No splash
Bishopsworth swimming pool, now closed and with no immediate future. Having operated for nearly forty years a newer and bigger pool opened just a few miles away; the council found they could no longer justify the cost of running it. The site was once a chapel in the twelfth century, which was converted into cottages in the sixteenth. They were demolished in 1961 to make way for the pool. What it will be in the future is open to debate. See Image] for another view.

A new kingdom

A dry future?
The baths have been a popular venue for the local people since it opened in the 1970s. However, once Hengrove Leisure Centre opened with its olympic sized 50m pool the council immediately shut Bishopsworth. See Image] for another view.

Benchmark facing the path
A benchmark, as listed in the Benchmark Database: http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm47097 , on St Peter's church, Bishopsworth. Presumably it was a more open area when it was cut, but now it is in the shadows thanks to some dense hedging opposite it. See Image] for more views of the old church.

St Peter's church, Bishopsworth
This uncommonly styled church lies in the heart of the suburb of Bishopsworth in southwest Bristol. Originally there was a chapel dating back to the twelfth century dedicated to St Peter and St Paul, almost directly opposite the current church, on what is now the disused swimming pool (see Image]). That chapel was converted into three cottages in 1540. However, the growing local population sought a church of their own. Despite the area being one of poor agricultural labourers and miners, the £1500 needed was raised. In fact, most of the money came from outside the area and a slight shortfall demanded that the belfry's original design was reduced to the present (and perhaps more appropriate) version. St Peter's was designed by the eminent architect Samuel Charles Fripp and opened in 1842; the finished church was consecrated by the Bishop of Salisbury on the 22nd April 1843. It is now a Grade II* listed building and the intriguing style is a fine example of the Norman Revival of the 1840s. See Image] for more views, including a benchmark - Image
