I think this building is the Pro-Cathedral; by Pro-Cathedral Lane. It's gone to rack and ruin.
There used to be a nice cafe there, run by the Steiner people with the Steiner school next door.
It's all smashed up and overgrown by ivy now - looks dramatic though.
This is a grand building on the side of Brandon Hill. I think it is a school, the QEH.
What does that stand for - Queen Elizabeth House?
There's the QEH Theatre next door.
Brandon Hill is a great open area near the city centre and at the back of Park Street. It's a steep hill topped by the Cabot Tower, a Victorian memorial commemorating John Cabot's 1497 voyage to America from Bristol.
The tower wasn't open. It's a hard climb and a bit scary, so I didn't mind too much.

I prefer amateur cathedrals. They're much more sportsmanlike and less commercial.
QEH stands for Queen Elizabeth's Hospital.
Could we compromise and have semi-pro cathedrals?
