Broadmead info
Bristol does not have a dense
or organised Central Business District, with shops
and offices spread out from Clifton to Temple
Meads. Broadmead, however, is the main "high
street" shopping district. The current streets
and shops were built in the 1950s after bombing
in World War II had damaged much of medieval Broadmead.
To the east of Broadmead, beside the harbour,
is Castle Park, also created by bombing of the
original buildings.
Like most 1950s buildings in Britain, affordable
but architecturally uninteresting utilitarian
buildings form the bulk of the Broadmead area.
In the 1980s some of these were demolished to
make way for the Galleries shopping centre, which
runs parallel to the main shopping road on a three
level covered street.
As of 2004 Broadmead is undergoing another regeneration,
with the shopping area being extended over the
central ring road. A nearby multi-story car park
and utilitarian tower block, Tollgate House, are
also due to be demolished.
Harbourside
St Augustine's Parade
Just south of Broadmead the city centre survived
the second world war with much less damage, though
post-war planners widened St Augustine's Parade
by covering the branch of the harbour that ran
through it, making way for the ring road. These
planning decisions are beginning to be reversed,
for example, the ring road is no longer circular,
as the stretch through Queen's Square has been
closed and returned to its use as a public park.
St Augustine's Parade is also becoming less car
orientated, as roads have been narrowed, turned
into Bus lanes or closed altogether. An "urban
beach" has also been created here, using
fountains to imitate waves.
The harbourside in the city centre has also been
regenerated in the 1990s and 2000s, with the refurbushment
of warehouses as bars, resturants, the Watershed
media centre and Arnolfini art gallery, as well
as the creation of At-Bristol.
About Bristol
Bristol is an English city and
county and one of the two administrative centres
of South West England (the other being Plymouth).
From its earliest days, its prosperity has been
linked to that of the Port of Bristol, the commercial
port which originated in the city centre, but
which has now migrated to the Bristol Channel
coast. Bristol extends to this coast and includes
Avonmouth, where much of the current port is located.
Notable areas in and surrounding the city include
Clifton, Filton and Patchway. (These last two
areas are outside the present city boundary, in
South Gloucestershire.)
Bristol is England's eighth, and the United Kingdom's
eleventh, most populous city. It had been, for
half a century, the second largest English city
after London,
until the rapid rise of Liverpool, Manchester
and Birmingham, in the 1780s.
