Broadmead, the main shopping area in Bristol is being redeveloped and expanded. After years of discussion, work is now cracking on. Lots of buildings are being demolished. Last week I came past this site at 10pm and all the machines were working with lights on their arms ripping down the old stores. It looked quite eerie.
The new Broadmead will cross over Bond Street, a main road that will be re-routed, and onto the area of ground where the multi-storey car park and Tollgate house now stand. Tollgate house is being demolished. As I was taking the photos, it struck me that this is the third incarnation I've known for this area. I remember going swimming in the Victorian baths there before it was pulled down to make more car parks. The Western Star Domino club was here as well.

I walked past this site today with a man I was working with and said, 'I told you not to slam the door.'
that's funny, I said exactly the same thing
