A Bond is one of Bristol’s most recognisable buildings. Built at the turn of the 20th century, it is the oldest of three tobacco warehouses that now stand defiantly against the skyline as a reminder of the trade that left our city with a legacy of poor health. Might there now be an opportunity to offset some of that legacy by becoming a beacon of sustainable living, owned and run by the local community, for the local community? If you are interested, read on, and you can get involved by filling in your detail via the website.
Thank you to local Councillor Mark Wright for the following comment:
"A Bond is an historic Bristol landmark that needs an exciting future. When I was responsible for Council Property in 2010, we investigated putting council admin offices in there, but it wasn't going to be cost effective. But someone, somewhere, must have an idea that would work for the building and give it a second lease of life for the Harbourside community." |
