Abstract: |
The assessment was carried out in relation to proposals to fix one end of a new bridge across the Floating Harbour. The area lay close to the heart of the Saxon and medieval town adn was immediately adjacent to the city's oldest church and included part of the churchyard. St PPeter's Hospital occupied the cental part of the site. At the western end of the site was formerly the Shambles or Worshipful Street, one time home of the butchers replaced by a new street in the 1770s. In the north-west corner lay the ancient Hartshorne or Swan Inn. At the eastern end of the study area lay the ditch of Bristol Castle, where the Regent Cinema was built in the late 1920s. All buldings on the site were destroyed in the blitz, with subsequent landscaping causing further destruction. However, one part of St Peter's Hospital survived as a retaining wall for the churchyard. [Au(abr)] |
