St Mary Redcliffe Area - BS1
Prewett Street kinks and narrows very slightly at this point on its journey between one end of it and the other. This is the view towards Redcliff (sic) Mead and Temple Gate (where Temple Meads Station is situated).Locals say that "The Bell" has been closed for "years" and that this "ex-auction house", in art deco style, has been unused for even longer. Behind its facade is rectangular, single storey, drill hall-type building with a pitched corrugated roof.

A silenced bell
The Bell is closed. This particular pub has a long history, dating back to the late eighteenth century but has now served its last pint. It lies in what was a very industrial area back in the day, with glassworks, sail-cloth factories, flax and twine works, a brewhouse among it neighbours, along with later arrivals such as the railways. But the Bell stands on the site of a forge, so perhaps this is what gave it its name.
The pub (once called the Blue Bell for a while) relied largely on trade from the surrounding industries, rather than residential drinkers. However, the area has undergone a pretty far-ranging redevelopment in recent years, with trade falling in line with much of the pub trade. It closed a few years ago, remained derelict and subject to a fire. Plans are being approved for its demolition and the building of housing, despite local calls for it to be retained as a vital part of the local heritage.
