Round lookout
Part of the old Bristol General Hospital complex as was, this elegant addition was one of many to the original buildings. Opened in 1832 it slowly accrued new extensions and redevelopments; bomb damage from WWII also gave it a chance to change once again. However, the opening of new hospitals in the 2010s meant that this venerable old place was closed in April 2012.

The New Cut at low tide
The New Cut was hand-dug out of the south Bristol area in the early 1800s to allow the River Avon to carry on its tidal rise and fall whilst the old rivercourse was turned into the Floating Harbour. Here are some of the supporting buttresses in front of the large block of flats of Waring and Francombe House.

Waring House, Redcliff Hill, Bristol
A singular block, distinguished by the procession of shallow arches, which, Pevsner observes, neatly echo the revetments to the river below (Image]). Built 1958-60 to the designs of the City Architect's Department.
In front is the attractive ironwork of Bedminster Bridge, built 1883 (Image]). It is almost imperceptibly arched. Grade II listed.

Former General Hospital - BS1
A view of one aspect of the former Bristol General Hospital on Commercial Road. This picture is taken from the Lower Guinea Street junction, looking in the direction of Bedminster Bridge.The hospital opened in 1832 for the exclusive care of Bristol patients only, expanding to outsiders in 1850. It was a non-acute rehabilitation hospital with some impressive views across Bathurst Basin from one side of the building. The BNP Paribas' estate agency was instructed to sell the site in late 2010 after a development brief was compiled for the 3 acre site by planners and agreed to by Bristol City Council. The wards closed on 3rd April 2012 and the remaining patients were transferred to South Bristol Community Hospital. Locals say that most of it is to be converted into apartments.

Velindra House
This unassuming little boozer is somewhat dwarfed by the extensions to the old Bristol General Hospital behind it. However, it is still serving (unlike so many others).
The Velindra is said to have been named after a vessel that used to ply its trade along the New Cut in days gone by.
