The Buildings of Bristol

Bristol is one of the foremost cities in the southwest. It is well known for its diverse culture and has produced many talented artists and musicians over the years. It has also had something of a troubled past being linked to the slave trade as a central Port bringing enslaved people in. The architecture of Bristol reflects much of this diversity but also the traditional heritage and wealth that trade has brought to it. Its location at the top of the Bristol Channel made it the perfect place for goods to enter the country rather than ships making the longer journey around the English Channel to Southampton, Portsmouth, and London.

Many Building Companies Bristol way look after the city’s needs in maintaining them and people’s homes. www.mogfordprescott.co.uk/builders-bristol/ is just one of many. The city is not without looking forward, and there are also some great examples of modern architecture in the City and on its outskirts.  Bristol is also set at the connecting point for the M4 and M5, making it a perfect hub link for many businesses and organisations.

Famous buildings in Bristol include the Clifton Suspension Bridge,  the Arnolfini Centre, a converted tea Warehouse,  the Bristol Old Vic Theatre with its attractive entrance and the controversially named Colston Hall. The docks still retain a sense of their Victorian splendour, and there are many examples of the Regency style in and around the city centre.
